Pedal the Cause

Why I ride is personal. My wife of 50 years has been battling Uterine Cancer for 2 plus years. 

As a retired Oncology Nurse, I have treated and fought along side so many wonderful friends and families.   I now have the most important patient of my life, my wife of 50 years, Debbie. Never did we expect to have to be fighting this battle. We have been avid fighters and supporters against of all cancers since I became a medical professional in the mid 80's.  We joined fundraising groups through athletic events and have been participating ever since both with funding and participating in marathons, runs,walks and now cycling and every other means of fundraising. 

We are benefactors of the research that Pedal the Cause is funding and currently there is no screening test for, or cure for Uterine Cancer, which is what Debbie is fighting. We are hopeful that the lack of testing and a cure can be discovered through our support of Pedal the Cause.  Please consider donating to our pages to help us fight this disease and to give hope to people in the future. We strive for a World without Cancer! Debbie will continue to fight  with all of her strength and determination. If you know her then you know she will never give up!! 

I am proud to join Pedal the Cause in the fight against cancer. Pedal the Cause is more than the region's largest cancer fundraiser. It's a way of life, a celebration, a family and a movement fueled by the courage to end cancer.

Please support my 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.
