WHY I RIDE

Dear Friends,

As we embark on another year of fundraising to support the efforts to eliminate cancer, I am directly faced with the harsh reality that a good friend, as well as a family member, have been desperately fighting to survive this disease.
For over a year and a half, my friend, Bruce Schneider, has fought tirelessly to beat cancer. While Bruce has always maintained a positive outlook, he and his family have reached a point that comfort, peace of mind, and being with family are their greatest desires. It has been tough to witness, but Bruce has always fought this disease with a positive attitude. I have seen the best in people come out during this truly heartbreaking time.

My mother-in-law, Sanny Moore, has been very fortunate in her battle with lung cancer. Her treatment has been remarkably successful up to this point. Through Siteman Cancer Center she continues to receive a daily pill that has stopped the spread of her cancer. She has been able to maintain a relatively good quality of life, and we all remain hopeful that this will continue for some time to come. We are all forever grateful for the work that the researchers and doctors at Siteman have done to develop this form of treatment. There is no doubt that through your generous support, new breakthroughs in treatments will continue to occur for all forms of cancer.

This year I am asking you to give what you can in memory of my friends Bruce Schneider and Greg Fox, and in honor of my mother-in-law, Sanny Moore, and anyone else fighting the cancer battle. We are making a difference. So, let's keep going!
