“Despite being diagnosed with this aggressive, terminal illness, God has graciously blessed me with great health, unlike so many others with my diagnosis.GBM is a disease with no known cause and no known cure, and one that usually leaves a trace of cancer cells behind, even after the most successful of surgeries. I just want to use this gift of health to bless others while I’m still able.” ~ Scott Williams
Scott has set out to raise critical funding to help erase every trace of glioblastoma.CARES is fortunate to have him as a proud partner and advocate.Cycling is a sport of committed and disciplined athletes, amateurs, casual weekend riders and people like my friend Scott, who, although living with glioblastoma, exemplifies my challenge to everyone to Live Your Days.No matter your level in the cycling or riding world, you can make a difference.
Now is the time to come together and invest in the inaugural Erase the Trace Ride to change the future of cancer care by funding advanced, innovative research that treats the cancer while sparing the patient. Proceeds from Erase the Trace will support a glioblastoma research endeavor and CARTI Cancer Center, where Scott is currently treated.
