This year is the 15^th year for the Cancer 200 event, and it will be my 10^th year riding.  I ride in the hope that kinder and effective cancer treatments are developed and ultimately a cure for the dreaded disease is found so we can celebrate more survivors.

I consider it a great privilege to be able to ride with, and, for real heroes.  The real heroes are the ones that are battling and going through treatment, have endured the treatment and won the battle or have battled and lost the fight.  Below are the heroes that I personally ride for.
