It is with a very heavy heart I would like to inform everyone that we will not be having Kristen's Ride this year.

My mother, Barbara A Lizotte passed away on July 18, 2011 from cancer. It has been a very difficult year for all of us. The last few months have taken a physical and mental toll on our entire family. Frank and I decided to focus on our children and the loss of their Mammy. I believe in what we do more than anything I have ever been a part of but I am trying to put the needs of my family first.

Many have contacted me, still wanting to donate to our ride. I will be collecting donations to the ride and be presenting them to Dana Farber in memory of my mom. She had a very rare and aggressive form of vulva cancer and her fight has solidified my commitment to raising money for the research needed to cure this devastating disease.
