Whether it be the oft irreverent yet wickedly funny viewpoint on all things cycling or the reality of the day to day of living with and caring for his wife Susan as she batted cancer. Elden Nelson aka the Fat Cyclist (Fatty to his friends) has caught the imagination of thousands if not millions with his web blog http://www.fatcyclist.com/.
I was saddened to hear yesterday that after a long battle Susan has died. No one knows exactly how you feel when you lose someone close to cancer, the maelstrom of emotions affect everyone differently but many around the world can empathise having experienced something similar.
Fatty's unstinting support of the Lance Armstrong Livestrong Foundation and his determination to make a difference is an inspiration to us all. -We have a responsibility to fight and keep fighting until a cure for cancer is found.
So fight - "Fight like Susan" and Livestrong
