WHY WE RIDE

Team Keller and Greg-

Our team was started for two dear friends, Lori Cohen and Paul Keller, and for these past 8 years we've been riding for these special people. This year we are honored to add another friend and brother to our team's mission to cure cancer. Greg Pohlman is the brother of our good friend and team member Ronna Pohlman. Ronna has been an amazing team member supporting Team Keller - raising over $18,000 in the 8 years she has been riding Pedal the Cause. She has been a strong advocate for Greg with his care. Our team wants to honor Greg, Ronna, their friends and family by doing everything we can to support them in their fight against cancer. Our team is small but consistent and mighty. Our team has raised over $160,000 for cancer research since we formed. Greg was diagnosed with what the jargon refers to as a CUP (cancer - unknown primary). This can make treatment more difficult and the expertise and commitment of the medical team becomes even more critical. We are happy to report that Greg's cancer has been held at bay and he has a clear plan going forward. The reliance on the team at Siteman has made our PTC team equally as strong as we raise funds to help these amazing researchers continue their work to find a cure for all cancers.

We hope to expand our team so that together we can make a difference in the lives of those affected with this deadly disease. It would be great to get to an even $200,000 level this year for our overall fundraising goal. Please consider jumping on your bike, raising some dollars and joining our team.
