My Story

29 May 2024

This will be my 8th year riding for the kids.

After a successful bone marrow transplant in 2022, I developed a condition called PML which destroyed white matter in my brain. With a very grim prognosis a year ago I suffered stroke like symptoms to my right side and my speech. With a lot of hard work since January and the wonderful care of my therapists I am able to spin on a pedaler to participate again this year. In addition my speech and communication skills are slowly returning.

It is with my greatest pleasure to be able to participate again this year, however different it may seem. My plan is simply to participate, helping any way I can.

Please support me by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.

Your support will change little lives.

Thank you.
