WHY I RIDE

I am proud to join Pedal the Cause 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.

It takes world-class research to create a world without cancer. 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 ride for my mom, Gussie Glik, who died of a brain tumor in 1986. I ride for Ilene Joseph because she left us way too soon. Sadly, now I ride for Victoria Drier, Nancy Alper, and Lynne Palan whose special spirits have recently left us.

On a happier note, I ride in honor of Elspeth Keller, Emily Follman, and Bettina Fischmann Stiewe for their amazing fortitude. And new, for 2021, I ride for Julie Funke for her journey.
