Dr. Lisa Taylor shares why she is motivated to ride for Merritt and the Merritt's Way Team this Saturday, September 26 in the Rodman Ride for Kids.
Why I Ride for Merritt.
Helpless.
That was the one thing I remember feeling – helpless. The night we first heard about Merritt's accident my husband and eldest son sat huddled together on the stairs in our house and there was nothing we could do. Just sit and wait for news.
But it was the most unbelievable outcome and that helplessness was twisted with grief and anger. Because Merritt was such a remarkable person, it made the loss felt even deeper.
Through their remarkable strength and clarity, the Levitan's helped us by giving us focus and purpose. And hope.
That's why I Ride for Merritt.
Hope.
