WHY WE RIDE

This year we are proud to be part of the Ride for a Child program. We are riding with John again, a very brave, fun loving 12 year old boy whose progress and dedication knows no bounds. See Johns story below.

John, 12
Medulloblastoma
John loves Lego, video games, Yu-Gi-O and Pokemon. He is a Blues and Cardinals fan and likes to listen to Imagine Dragons. In 2020, John started getting severe headaches that got progressively worse and eventually effected his vision. He got his first MRI in September 2020 when he was diagnosed with Medulloblastoma. Since then, he has completed radiation therapy at the Proton Therapy Center at Siteman Cancer Center and completed his chemotherapy treatment in 2021
Johns family says he has received the most amazing care at St. Louis Childrens Hospital, including the Proton Therapy Center. The staff has taken the time to get to know him, which has helped him not become overwhelmed through his treatments.
