WHY I RIDE

I am proud to join Pedal the Cause, for the 10th year, in the fight against cancer. Pedal the Cause is more than the region's top cycling event. It's a way of life, a celebration, and a movement fueled by the courage to end cancer. This year I will be a 9th year Yellow Jersey

It takes world-class research to create a world without cancer. The Siteman Cancer Center has been able to conduct significant research based on the support it has received from Pedal the Cause. Please help me in this journey by donating to my ride, and give with confidence knowing that 100% of your donation will go directly to accelerating cancer research at Siteman Cancer Center and St. Louis Children's Hospital.

I am riding in honor of my wife Belinda Dana, who was diagnosed with an astrocytoma on August 30, 2013. Fortunately Belinda survived her chemo treatments during 2021 and her last chemo treatment was in December. Belinda has follow-ups with her physician every four months.

The Pedal the Cause Bike Ride is on September 24 & 25, 2022. I will be riding a century each day. I am asking for your continued support with a donation of $54.

Thank you for your support. https://www.mypedalthecause.org/riders_profile_edit.jsp?MemberID=33869
