In honor of my best friend - Joe Sooter

This year, my fundraising is dedicated to my best friend Joe Sooter, who succumbed to cancer this Spring after a year long struggle against the disease.  Joe had been my strongest Pedal the Cause supporter over the years because he believed in its mission.  He had no idea cancer would alter the course of his life as he was looking forward to spending more time with his children and grandchildren.

Individual donations are even more important as federal funding for basic research is less certain.  Changing the outcomes of friends and family members is going to be more reliant on all of us, so please donate to the extent you can.

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.
