to help END CANCER!

  • DOLLAR MATCH, TOO!
    Every dollar you contribute will be matched by The Limited Brands! I will be wearing their colors proudly!
I ride to honor those who have supported me on my cancer odyssey.

Support comes in many forms, from many places.

Money is good. Money is nice. As I have written before, money is necessary. That's not cynicism. Money is real, and I appeal to you to donate.

But support comes in many forms, from many places.

Friends you just met open their homes, fill you with welcome, and embrace you with love.

They support you.

Starched-white uniformed nurses who make you walk, dress your wounds, and give no quarter while helping you heal.

Loved ones who fear for you, nurse you, comfort you, challenge you.

Employers who reduce the pressure and reserve your place.

They support you.

Neighbors who feed your family and mow your lawn.

Friends who make the journey to be there. Just to be there.

Children who inspire you... by just being.

Long-lost friends who give. Then give more.

Doctors who advise with wisdom and share their talent.

They support you.

Patients who fight.
Families who suffer.
Those who endure.

Survivors.
Victims.

They support you.

I ride to honor those who have supported me on my cancer odyssey.

For what they did.
For what they did not do.

I honor them.

We need your support to end cancer. Please consider donating.
