WHY I RIDE

This year will be my dad's 86th birthday on September 25th, ride weekend!

I celebrate his life by riding in Pedal. Every year I ride for all cancer fighters and for my Dad: he is with me each year as I ride HIS road bike, as I ride the roads that HE used to ride through our hometown. I ride because HE loved to ride; I ride because I will never stop trying, just as HE never stopped fighting; I ride because I miss him; I ride because we've got to outsmart cancer!

The emotions this ride brings out in me are those of sadness, courage and an overpowering need to DO for strangers so that their family doesn't have to feel what ours did when losing a family member.

I am proud to join Pedal the Cause in the fight against cancer.
