I'm Riding For

Aaron Ingalls

Aaron Ingalls

Aaron Ingalls is a local high school golf coach who had surgery last October (2024) to remove a malignant brain tumor. He played football with my son Andrew at Lambuth University, and is married with three young children. Although his future health situation will be challenging, Aaron is surrounded by many people who love him, and is determined to overcome the obstacles confronting him. Let's all keep him and his family in our prayers, and give what we can to fight this beast called "cancer" in Aaron's honor!

My Story

7 Aug 2025

A little over a year ago, a doctor in Cleveland sliced open my chest, took my heart in his hands, and operated on it! Gross! I'm 65 years old, and after that surgery, I wondered if I would ever ride a bicycle again. Last Summer I could barely walk down my driveway, much less ride a bike. But my rehab and recovery has gone well, and I'm going to try to ride 200 miles in this September's GCC. I will be aided by an electric assist bike on some days, but the bike isn't the issue, and neither is my heart surgery. The issue is US...you and me...raising money to fight children's cancer. Cancer is an insidious disease, but it is a disease about which we can actually do something! We can fight this monster, and we can save lives and prevent suffering, but we have to pitch in and we have to work together. So let's do this thing!! Let's pray and contribute and support research, and in the words of the old hymn, "We shall overcome, we shall overcome. Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe, we shall overcome some day."
