Hello and thank you for visiting my PMC profile page. I will be riding my 36th annual PMC in August 2024.

I first learned about the PMC in 1988 when a co-worker asked if I would like to sponsor his 192 mile bicycle marathon for The Jimmy Fund. I said, yes, but next year I am going to ride! In 1989, I successfully rode my first PMC and I was hooked. I was inspired by David Fischer and Shaun Logan. We have become a cancer research fundraising team and PMC pedaling partners for life.

I ride in memory of my Mother Amey, Grandmother Maude, Grandfather Bob and my Aunt Joan who all died prematurely of cancer and for many others including: Brian Meany, Storey Johnson Hart, Robert Mulrey, Dr Gene Aron, Helene Lavelle, Suzie Pickard, George Aguiar, Steve Fait, Becky Jensen, Bonnie Skane, Pam Larson, Liz Busconi, Janet Smith, Barb Kidd, Sharon Norgard, Don Fish, Peter Everdell, Pam Larsen and Joan Davidson among many others. I ride for TJ Ragnoni, my friend's son who has a Juvenile Pilocytic Astrocytoma (“JPA”) tumor, an inoperable brain tumor that has been a roller coaster ride of treatments. I ride for current and future parents, so that they will not have to live through having a child getting stricken with cancer. I ride for you.

Thank you to all of my generous sponsors, family and friends! Many of you have not missed a year. Without you, I could not ride to help find cures and treatments for cancer.
