Once again, I am riding with Team 88 (named for my age at the time), yes, I am 93! Doing 30 miles on Sunday, August 3, 2025, as a part of Pelotonia. As someone who was cured of cancer by a drug developed at the James, I think of all the people who might be cured as a result of the research funds provided to the James by Pelotonia.

Pelotonia has pledged $102,265,000 to launch the Institute for Immuno-Oncology at the James, and has made many grants for cancer research. 100% of all participants' dollars raised go directly to cancer research, now over 309 million. All because of people like you who joined the fight against cancer.

I ask that you contribute this year as the fight continues. My fellow Team 88 riders and I thank you for your support and donations.
