Pedal the Cause

After being diagnosed with malignant melanoma in 2014, I have seen the importance of detection. 

My melanoma was between my toes. I thought it was dirt, then a tick and finally had the doctor take a look. 

Then in 2019, I lost my best friend. He was dealing with a reoccurring mouth infection. Turns out it was AML/MML, a blood cancer. When they discovered it what was happening after a few months of back and forth to the dentist, by this time it was too late. They took him from Durango to Denver on a Friday for additional testing and treatment. The following Mon evening, he was no longer here. 

The impact of this disease was very swift but had there been more awareness, this outcome could have been different. We all have been affected from the disease in some manner. We can also make an impact for how future generations detect and treat it.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 at our local, top-ranked institutions that is changing the way we treat and cure cancers.
