WHY I RIDE

On December 5, 2011, my sweet Dad lost his 7 month battle with a fierce opponent, bladder cancer. Bud Asbury was a man who loved life and fought hard to stay with us, but the vicious foe finally got the best of him. In 2012, John and I decided to ask for donations instead of wedding gifts. This year, we are once again asking for donations. Thank you to all of our friends and family who have given to this very worthy cause.

Pedal the Cause has the mission to provide funding for cancer research at Siteman Cancer Center and St. Louis Children's Hospital through their annual cycling challenge in hopes that the research funded by their event will ultimately lead to a cure for cancer.

Please help me in this journey to find a cure by donating to my ride. This year, I've committed to raising $5,000 for cancer research. 100% of the money I raise stays in St. Louis at Siteman Cancer Center. This is one of the main reasons I've chosen Pedal the Cause as my top organization for which to raise money.

Cancer doesn't take a rest and neither should we.
