I'm Riding For

Margaret (Peg) Dwyer

My ride is dedicated to my mother-in-law, Peg Dwyer, who passed away at the age of fifty nine from ovarian cancer. She loved her three children and her three grandchildren very much and they meant the world to her. Incidentally, her birthday is June 13. I didn't have the opportunity to meet my mother-in-law but from what I've learned from family and friends, my wife is just like her mother.

My Story

5 Apr 2019

Each year, more than 15,000 kids and young adults in the US are diagnosed with cancer—that’s about 42 per day.

In 2016, over 300,000 kids and young adults were diagnosed with cancer worldwide.

Childhood cancer is still a big problem because:

Children’s cancer can’t be treated exactly like adult cancers (where most of federal research funding goes.) Current treatments are toxic, affect a child’s development and can be decades old. To treat childhood cancer in the best way possible, we need to create specialized treatments just for kids.

Many childhood cancer survivors in the U.S. suffer from lifelong damage to their organs, mental health and more. We need to understand how treatments affect kids long-term so we can prevent late effects.

This June, I'll be participating in the Children's Cancer Research Fund's Great Cycle Challenge. My goal is to ride 500 miles in the month of June. Please sponsor me with a donation and together we can fight childhood cancer. Thank you.
