This year will be my 5th year participating in the Ride to Conquer Cancer.  The year of the Golden Helmet. 

It would have been easy for me to take a break this year and not fundraise or spend 2 days on the road with 5,000 others.  But... I know firsthand that there is nothing easy about Cancer and riding with so many other passionate riders is so incredibly powerful and emotional.

I ride because I don’t want my girls to face a cancer diagnosis, chemo, surgeries and tough decisions about their health. I can’t protect them from everything, but I can raise money to contribute to discovering answers for this dreaded disease in the hopes that they won’t have to deal with it.

Last year I rode with that yellow flag flapping in the wind behind me. I’m proud of that yellow flag – the symbol of a survivor. I fought for it and I will cherish the sound of it as the wind whips through it every km of the way on June 9th and 10th.  2 day's, 200km!

Thank you so much for your contribution!
