For the twelth year in a row, I’ll be riding in Pelotonia in remembrance of my husband, Jim, and in honor of the loved ones—family, friends, and classmates—whose lives have been touched by cancer. This year, I’m proud to ride once again with Team Huntington, a group deeply committed to advancing cancer research and supporting our community.

If you’ve experienced cancer personally or through someone close to you, you understand how urgent and important this fight is. The Ohio State University James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute is not only a leading treatment center in Central Ohio, but also a global force in advancing cancer diagnostics, treatments, and prevention.

Now more than ever, continued funding for cancer research is essential. Our community plays a critical role in ensuring that progress toward our One Goal never slows. Every single dollar donated to Pelotonia goes directly to innovative cancer research, brilliant scientific minds, and the tools and technology that shape the future of cancer care.

Since 2009, the Pelotonia community has raised more than $339 million—and we’re far from finished. I hope you’ll consider supporting my 2026 ride with Team Huntington. Together, we can be legendary.
