WHY I RIDE
I am joining the fight against cancer by participating in the Pedal the Cause bike challenge, this is my 11th year riding. I am riding for my Mom who lost her battle with pancreatic cancer way too early in both of our lives, my Dad who was recently diagnosed, my Mother-In-Law Barb and Sister-in-Law Karen who are survivors and all others who will not let cancer win! These three ladies are my heroes, they did not let cancer stop them and my dad is not either. I want to do my part by riding the Big Hitter course which is 50 miles of hills to raise funds to help research a cure. 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. I have committed to Yellow Jersey status by raising $2,500 for cancer research and 100% of your donation will go to directly to this cause. By donating to my ride you will help me raise funds so those brilliant scientist out there can receive grants to fund their research and another girl could have her mom longer in her life than I did. Together we will provide the researches the funding they need to kick this awful disease.
I can't do this without your generous support and I promise to ride a mile for your loved ones who lost their battle or are fighting strong, just send me their name.
Hugs and with Gratitude
Jean
