WHY I RIDE

Inspired by my dear friend Greg Fox and his amazing, resilient and courageous family, I did my first Pedal the Cause ride a few years ago. I can't wait to be riding again this year with Greg's Fancy Foxes.

I am riding for the wonderful friends I have lost to cancer, but this year I have a special friend that is fighting each and every day like a true warrior. Many of you know her and she has been so inspirational in the last five years to so many of us. I am riding to honor Julie Stephenson. I pledge to ride 30 miles to honor her.

I am sure all of you have special people in your hearts that have been affected by this disease. It takes world-class research eliminate cancer. I greatly appreciate any donation you are able to give. Donations will go directly to accelerating cancer research at Siteman Cancer Center and St Louis Children's Hospital.
