Year 16, here we go!!!

When I started my participation with Pelotonia in 2011, my driving motivation was to connect with the community, honor family members who were impacted by cancer, and support the advancement of wellness and treatment options for cancer patients.

In 2017, my goals pivoted to riding for my dad, whose short-lived cancer journey ended when he sadly passed away from HPV+ oral cancer on 9/13/17.

Now, I also ride for my mom, who worked with an amazing care team at The James from July 2023 - September 2024, and loving providers at Hospice of Central Ohio before her passing from ovarian cancer on 9/28/24.

In addition, I ride for Jane and Dennis Crimmins. Jane's esophageal cancer took her from family and friends too soon in March 2025. Her husband Dennis just completed radiation for his cancer 7/28/25.

I'm aiming to raise at least $6,000 this year, to honor my family as a high roller.

Thank you for supporting me and the countless others working on the goal of #endingcancer! Here's to a day when no one will lose a parent to cancer.
