In January, I lost my mom to pancreatic and liver cancer. Just a few months earlier, I lost a close friend to cancer, as well. At the same time, I’ve also experienced hope firsthand — My Aunt survived pancreatic cancer last year, and even our dog beat cancer, too. Cancer has touched nearly every part of my life, which is why this ride means so much to me. I’m riding in Pedal the Cause to honor those we’ve lost, celebrate the survivors, and help fund research that can change lives. Every mile is personal, and every donation helps bring hope to families facing this disease. Thank you for supporting me, this ride, and the fight against cancer.

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.
