The last few years have been absolutely heart-breaking for family and friends as cancer won far too many battles. Unfortunately, I cannot change the past, but I will continue to fight for the future. So, I'm in for my 15th PMC...and this year, Ella will be joining us on the road!!

We ride in support of those battling cancer and in honor of those that have lost hard-fought battles. We ride so that no child has to lose a parent to cancer...or worse, suffer through chemo treatments before they are old enough to ride a bike. We ride so that families have additional time with loved ones. We ride so that cancer is one day only seen in history books. This is why we ride. This is why we volunteer. This is why we fight.

If you have any question as to the importance of this ride, please take a look at what we wore on our jerseys in 2010 (picture 9 of the photo gallery on this page). To give you an idea of how much your support adds up, the total I have personally raised is $41,431. I am so proud of that number and of all of you as our family and friends.

Thank you for your continued support - it means the world to me.
