Pedal the Cause

I am proud to join Pedal the Cause in the fight against cancer for the 4th year. 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.

In the past few years, I rode in honor of my mom who was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) in Feb of 2022. Because of the advancement of cancer research, she received stem cell transplant in Oct of 2022 and has been cancer free. She has resumed her normal life and in some ways she is even healthier than before she got cancer. 

This year, I ride in memory of my friend, Elgin Toh who lived in Singapore. He just lost his fight with brain cancer a few days ago. We went to Washington University together about 15 years ago and he was my best friend in school. We served in our church together and I was one of his groomsmen at his wedding. I was able to visit him last year but I wish we had more time together. There has been positive developments in this area but he wasn't able to wait long enough for the cure. 

I hope the money we raise through PTC can be used to further advance cancer research so that one day everyone with this type of aggressive cancer can be treated. 

Thank you!
