WHY I RIDE

For the fourteenth year in a row, I am joining the fight against cancer by participating in Pedal The Cause - St. Louis the weekend of September 23rd and 24th. Pedal The Cause's mission is to provide funding for cancer research at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Washington University School of Medicine's Siteman Cancer Center and at St. Louis Children's Hospital Siteman Kids through their annual cycling challenge in hopes that the research funded by this event will ultimately lead to better, more personalized treatments and cures for cancer.

Please help me in this journey to find a cure by donating to my ride. I have committed to raise $10,000.00 for cancer research with 100% of every dollar going directly to this cause. I will ride powered by your donation and the hope that every cancer patient has for us, that together, we will find a cure!

This year I am riding to support those close to me who are fighting cancer and in memory of those family and friends who have lost their battle to cancer. Unfortunately, this list changes every year which only means our fight continues. Cancer does not discriminate. Please join me again this year or for the first time in this effort to advance cancer research and find cures so that someday we will live in a world free of cancer.

BJC HealthCare, Barnes-Jewish Hospital, Washington University School of Medicine, and St. Louis Children's Hospital are national leaders in medicine and together with our Siteman Cancer Center and the funds we raise through Pedal the Cause, we are leading the way in finding cures for cancer!

Thank you for your support.
