My Journey

As I prepare for my 5th Pedal the Cause ride, my journey looks a little different this year.  This year it is very personal to me as I was diagnosed with breast cancer in December 2025. The initial plan was to have a bilateral mastectomy and then move on with my life.  Unfortunately, the pathology report changed to Stage 1 invasive carcinoma which requires chemotherapy treatments.  I had surgery on April 15, 2026, and I will begin my chemo treatments on June 10, 2026.  The treatment will continue until June 2027. I'm very grateful for the specialized treatment I will receive as the success is in the 90% for no reoccurrence! I realize if it were not for organizations like Pedal the Cause, there would not be the funding to research and develop specific cancer treatments like this one. 

Please consider donating to my journey so I can help contribute to the lifesaving research and development of new treatments and possible cures for cancer! 

Thank you to everyone who has already donated and continue to support me every year! Many blessings to you all!
