Pedal the Cause

I lost a grandmother to lung cancer when I was starting my freshman year of high school.  She was an amazing woman and a model person for me in my younger years - always full of joy and wanting to help others.  It was a loss.  

Since my early days starting medical school I have met many people young and old affected by cancer.  I would bet you know someone as well. As one of the 2 leading causes of death in the US, cancer touches many people around us.  While it is never easy to find out you or your loved one has cancer, it is gratifying to know that research at Siteman and elsewhere has significantly improved our ability to fight cancer.  More people are surviving their battles with cancer, living much longer with better quality of life.  

Pedal the Cause is hope. It is the 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.
