I’m riding in Pedal the Cause in memory of my father-in-law, Doc Z.
This year, I’m proud to ride alongside my brother-in-law, Bryan Zehnder, as we honor Doc Z’s life and legacy.
Doc Z was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer in July 2023. He fought with incredible courage and grace for 15 months before passing away in October 2024. His strength, spirit, and determination continue to inspire me every day.
Pedal the Cause directly funds innovative cancer research and supports people facing some of life’s hardest battles.
Please consider making a donation in memory of Doc Z and in support of everyone affected by cancer. Your contribution helps fund critical research and brings real hope to patients and families.
Thank you so much for your support.
With gratitude, Mike Smith
