Pedal the Cause

Hello friends,

I'm giving this a go again this year and hopefully the weather holds out! As many of you know I was diagnosed with and treated for papillary thyroid cancer in August 2011.Thankfully my treatment was successful and I remain cancer free today. This charity ride is especially close to my heart because I received my surgical and post-surgical care at  Siteman Cancer Center. I feel extremely fortunate that my cancer was caught early and was treatable. Sadly, I have family members and friends who were not as fortunate and lost their battle with various cancers.

Pedal the Cause is hope, community and the region’s most impactful movement to end cancer. I am proud to participate and to play a part in funding groundbreaking research that is changing the way cancers are treated and cured.

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.

So many of you supported me last year, which helped push me through those long training days during the hottest days of the summer. Please consider supporting my efforts to create a world without cancer with a donation of any size to my fundraiser by clicking the DONATE button on my profile page.

If you are unable to donate, encouraging words and positive vibes are always welcome!
