Pedal the Cause

My Fifth Year Riding for Pedal the Cause

It's hard to believe it's that time of year again. Each year, I'm reminded how generous, compassionate, and inspiring this community truly is. Last year alone, we raised $5,530, and over the past five years, together we have raised $17,193.81. I honestly can't thank you enough.

What makes this even more powerful is knowing that Washington University has historically been able to leverage every donated dollar into approximately $14 for cancer research. That means your generosity has helped enable more than $240,000 in research funding—real work, real scientists, and real hope. That impact belongs to all of you.

Every year, the ride becomes more personal. What started as riding for one, has turned to many.

I ride for those who continue to fight:

• Carla Bell
• Toni D.
• Pat L
• Sherry F.

I ride in loving memory of:

• Linda Davidson
• Phil McGlauchlin
• Jamie K.

And I ride in honor of the growing number of survivors in my circle of family and friends—living proof of why this research matters so deeply.

Cancer touches all of us in some way. Riding is how I choose to show up—to honor, to remember, and to push forward with hope.

My fundraising goal this year is starting at $2,500, and if you are able, I would be incredibly grateful if you would consider donating to support my ride. Additionally, remember to utilize your Matching Gift benefits https://pedalthecause.org/matching-gifts/. 

If you're feeling inspired to go even further, I'd love for you to join the cause and ride with Team Edward Jones. If you are a first-time rider, let me know and we can make use of some special programs that help benefit us both.
