For My Family. For My Friends. For a Cure.

Cancer has hit close to home for me — more than once.

My mother passed with ovarian cancer shortly after her diagnosis. My sister faced breast cancer along with many other illnesses— it was painful to see this one added to the list. And over the years, I’ve walked alongside family and friends through either their own difficult diagnoses or their loved ones — sometimes celebrating survival, and other times grieving the painful loss when treatment wasn’t enough.

That’s why I ride.

I ride for the fighters.

I ride for the survivors.

I ride for the ones we remember.

Pedal the Cause is more than a fundraiser — it’s hope in motion. Every dollar raised goes directly to cancer research right here in St. Louis, Missouri. These are real breakthroughs, real trials, and real lives being changed — and I’m proud to support that.

I believe in a future where cancer no longer gets to write the ending.

This is my way of helping to rewrite the story.

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.

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.
