I'm Riding For

In Honor of Ruth Smith and Memory of Michael Smith & Art Henne.

I'm riding in honor of my Mother-in-law in her fight against cancer. Also in memory of my dad, Mike, and my former pastor, Art Henne.

My Story

25 Aug 2026

This is my 9th year riding. I am riding in honor of my Mother-in-law, Ruth and memory of my dad, Mike, family friend, Frank, and my pastor, Art Henne, as well as many friends and pets stolen by cancer. Did you know we lose an unimaginable 38 children a week in the US because of this disease?

The last 5 years I have failed to hit my 300 mileage and $3000 goal. So that has been adding to my motivation to make up for it this year. I am getting motivated and determined to hit and surpass my goal. So, lets do it and get started to fight childhood cancer!

Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.

Please support me by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.

All donations are 100% tax deductible and help fight children's cancer.

Your support will change little lives.

I looked into the group and it is approved by the BBB and money goes to a great cause. I promise to keep everyone updated on my progress with pictures (and keep me accountable to ride).

Thank you.
