My story, like the thousands of other PTC Riders, Volunteers and Donors, is personal.
Cancer always is "personal".
32 Years ago my father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. At the time I was living in Dallas and I remember talking with a doctor/friend of mine there who explained in a somewhat detached, professional manner that the prognosis for my father was not good and likely he would not live 6 months. Sadly, he was correct. Back then pancreatic cancer was basically a death sentence; unfortunately prospects have not gotten dramatically better in the years since. But things are changing and Pedal the Cause is a driving force of that change.
Pedal the Cause is hope, community and the region’s most impactful movement to end cancer. I am proud to say that both Kim and I have participate in every PTC ride since it's inception back in 2010 assisting with the funding of groundbreaking research at our local, top-ranked institutions that is changing the way we treat and cure cancers.
Every penny of every dollar donated funds innovative cancer research at Siteman Cancer Center and Siteman Kids at St. Louis Children's Hospital, driving new treatments, clinical trials and discoveries that are improving patient outcomes. CLICK HERE to learn more about the impact of the over $51 million donated by Pedal the Cause since 2010.
Please support my efforts to create a world without cancer with a donation of $50, $100, $250 or whatever you are comfortable giving to my PTC fundraiser by clicking one of the DONATE buttons on the top right side or bottom left side of this page. Your tax deductible contribution really does make a difference.
My sincere thanks for your consideration and support!
