Tomorrow is the beginning of riding toward 200 miles this month.

Kiki and I will be riding together from Rincon to Ventura. She has been fighting cancer for over 12 years. As a triathlete, she has a mantra - NGUNS never give up, never surrender. It was given to her by Chad, a dear young friend who faced leukemia with grace and courage. He is with us in spirit and is dear in our heart.

Cancer is a tough adversary. We are grateful for science and the doctors and researchers who have brought so many children, teens and adults out of cancers grip and into a life of gratitude.

We stand together, as we did years ago at Giants Stadium (see picture above) and continue our quest. Please stand with us

Feeling grateful for the opportunity to help a great cause

I was privileged to work with children being treated for cancer. They and their families often walk this walk with grace and courage. Science has made significant in-roads but much still needs to be done.
