This ride began in 2019 as a way to honor a close mentor, Dr. Allen, whose courage in the face of cancer inspired us to act. It has since grown into something far bigger, shaped by the many coworkers, friends, and family members we love who have faced this disease; including my mom, who lost her battle in June 2025. Today, every step and every mile is for them, for those still fighting, and for the future we believe research can create. We move together to turn loss into progress, love into action, and hope into something that carries us forward until there’s a cure.
