I lost my father to Cancer on June 12 of this year, and my mother-in-law in 1998. I can't leave it up to the "other guy" anymore. I am riding the 100. I will raise money every year from now on for the LAF, whether they have a ride in Philly, or wherever I have to go.

We have to do something, because anything is better than nothing ... and my Dad was my best friend, and worth everything to me. The evil monster that cancer is will fuel my drive up the 8000 feet of climbing. The suffering that I will experience, is a small fraction of the suffering, and challenge, of those who are fighting cancer.
