Kim and I will be hopping back on our cancer curing bikes on Sunday, September 20th, to support Pedal the Cause for our 15th consecutive year. We will again be tackling the 30-mile course with our team, Bill Box's Blue, Red and Grey.
Pedal the Cause provides funding for cancer research at Siteman Cancer Center and Siteman Kids at St. Louis Children's Hospital, but that research can save lives around the world. Since 2010, Pedal the Cause has raised over $56 million and funded 285 cancer research projects - and we'll keep raising more because our goal is A World Without Cancer!
This year is Kim’s third year riding as "Living Proof," after having been diagnosed in July 2024 with breast cancer. She underwent lumpectomy surgery and radiation, and her treatment continues in order to prevent recurrence. I am grateful for the excellent care she has received from the great physicians and other professionals at Siteman - based on our long history supporting Siteman through Pedal the Cause, I would not trust her care to anyone else.
Cancer has impacted our lives in many other ways. We lost my mom to ovarian cancer in 2022. My dad had survived both prostate cancer and colorectal cancer. We've had too many other friends, colleagues, and family members over the years whose lives have been impacted by cancer, including Kim’s melanoma diagnosis in 2010. We ride each year with the hope that the research funded by Pedal the Cause will ultimately lead to a cure for all cancers.
Will you help to find a cure by donating to my ride? Pedal the Cause is unique in that corporate sponsorships and registration fees cover expenses so that 100% of your donation goes directly to funding cancer research (and it is tax deductible).
You can make a donation through the “Donate to my ride” button on my rider profile.
Donations can be made until October 31, 2026. Thanks for your support!
