Pedal the Cause

I am proud to join Pedal the Cause in the fight against cancer again in 2025. Pedal the Cause is a mission I choose to support due to its contribution to cancer research in our area.  Plus it's so moving seeing all the support from those who donate, those who ride, volunteers, and those cheering on others along the routes. It truly is a touching experience for me every year I ride!

Ironically and thankfully I am benefiting from cancer research as I write this message.  I was just recently diagnosed with another melanoma spot and am receiving immunotherapy prior to surgery to remove some lymph nodes in my left axilla (armpit).  Research has shown this to be more beneficial prior to surgery.  Therefore, your support for Pedal has benefited my health as well, so thank you!  I may not be able to ride this year or will need to lessen the amount due to surgery 3 weeks prior to the ride, but I will continue my commitment to raise a minimum of $500. I hope I am able to ride so send some good vibes, too! 

Please support research efforts by donating to my fundraiser, and give with confidence knowing that 100% of your donation will fund lifesaving cancer research at Siteman Cancer Center and Siteman Kids at St. Louis Children's Hospital.  Most of us know someone who has been or who is currently a cancer patient.  No one wants to go through that without the support of their medical staff and those new breakthrough trials.  Please help support Pedal the Cause...and I'm happy to continue to ride a cancer curing bike!
