WHY I RIDE

Proud to ride for Pedal the Cause again to fight cancer. Pedal the Cause is more than the St Louis 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.

We all know too many who have fought cancer valiantly and, unfortunately, some that did not win that fight. I ride for ALL and especially fellow Head and Neck cancer fighters and survivors. That treatment is particularly challenging, but cancer can be beaten! Most of all, I always remember the kids I saw in the radiation waiting room at University of Michigan, so special well wishes, too, to those at St Louis Children's Hospital.

As my ID wristband still says (thanks Dave) :

Beating cancer.
Living strong.
