Hi Friends,

Thank you for looking at my PMC page and considering making a donation. I first did this ride in 1986, and this will be my tenth consecutive year riding in the event. It has been a great experience, and one in which I plan to continue to make a yearly event. Last year our group raised over $870,000 while having a wonderful time. This year we have set the goal of raising $1,000,000.  Many of my Team Lick Cancer teammates are life time friends. The PMC has set an overall goal of raising $47,000,0000. In total the PMC has raised over half a billion dollars!

For the past number of years our group, Team Lick Cancer, has raised funds for a rare form of brain cancer called AT/RT. We raise funds in memory of Charlotte O'Shea. Charlotte battled AT/RT for five years and eventually lost the battle. Her legacy lives through our group as she touched the lives of so many. Our funds are used for research dedicated to this awful form of cancer. Because AT/RT is rare, the disease has limited availability to research funds. As such, every dollar helps.

This year, I am dedicating my ride to my partner Scott Eriksen’s mother-in-law, Insoon Park.  Insoon was diagnosed with lung cancer.  She has never been a smoker and has always been extremely fit.  She had surgery two weeks ago and her prognosis is positive.  Her diagnosis is a reminder that cancer impacts everyone.

This year will mark my first year of riding with my wife Pia.  Pia has volunteered for the past seven years and has made the decision to ride this year. While riding with Pia will be fun, my/our fundraising commitment just doubled!

So this is where you come into play. I need to raise funds for this great ride. I will match my donors up to $2,000. If I raise more than this amount, I will donate the $2,000 to other riders that I have sponsored in the past.

It is a great cause and 100% of the funds go to the charity.

Thanks for all of your support!!

Ride on!
