Kristin Buckeley On May first I turned forty. I have two children, a daughter that was 18 yesterday & a son, 11. When my son was four he was diagnosed with leukemia. We went through three years of chemo at Hershey Medical Center. When he finished & was considered "cured" I enrolled in college and bought my Harley. We had 18 months of almost normal living. Jed relapsed in January of 2007. Our world stopped, from that day every moment has been about making him well. Jed should be finished treatment by Thanksgiving. He was grand marshal in York’s bike parade last year. He rode with my significant other and I rode my own, next to my dad. It was so very cool. I have not been able to ride much in the last few years. There have been moments when I've jumped on, knowing I could only ride around the block. When I ride out of the garage I am in a dark cloud, as I roll back the throttle I feel myself emerging into the sunshine...smiling like a fool. Those times are so important to me. Riding clears my head, makes me strong and ready to fight another day.
