Cancer has always been a painful reality in my family. My dad was diagnosed with both colon cancer and throat cancer—facing not just one, but two battles against this relentless disease. Watching him go through treatments, surgeries, and the countless ups and downs that come with a cancer diagnosis was heartbreaking, but his strength was nothing short of inspiring.
Unfortunately, he’s not the only one in my family who has faced this fight. I’ve lost other loved ones to cancer, each loss a painful reminder of how much work still needs to be done. Every statistic about cancer represents a real person, a family torn apart, and a battle that should never have to be fought alone.
That’s why I’m riding in Pedal the Cause. I ride to honor my dad’s fight. I ride for the loved ones I’ve lost. And I ride with the hope that, through funding critical research, we can find better treatments—and one day, a cure.
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.
