I ride for all of the patients that I have had the pleasure of caring for at The James. Their perseverance, kindness, and strength inspires me in my work as an orthopaedic oncologist at The James.

Unfortunately, cancer hits close to home for me (as it does for many). I will also be riding in rememberance of my nanny, grandpa, Uncle Noel, and my close friend, Shannon Wilkes. Shannon passed away in September 2013 from osteosarcoma at age 24. It was her faith through it all that inspired my rides in 2011, 2017, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and again this year. Her legacy continues to inspire me everyday. Please consider donating to my ride and supporting The James and our goal to END CANCER.
