Join us in standing strong for our first responders by donating today.

On the 25th anniversary of 9/11, I've committed to raising funds as we ride 343 miles to honor the fallen, support the survivors, and stand with the first responders who still fight battles most of us never see, including cancer, trauma, and the toll of years spent serving others.

Please help me support this cause by making a donation through my page and don't forget to send this page to any friends you think might be interested in donating. I can't do this without you!

Thank You Monroeville Fire Department 6 for your very generous support!

Saturday 16th May
Huge thank you to chief Corye Ramsey, and the membership of Monroeville fire department six for supporting my fundraising efforts: I’m really close to being able to concentrate on getting my mileage up knowing that the fundraising is almost to my orginial goal

Training in full swing!

Monday 11th May
Now That the weather has finally started to break in Western Pennsylvania. My training has moved into full swing. I’m getting outside as much as I can to get the mileage on the bike to prepare for this event in September.. 

I also have some really good news on the fundraising side of it. Let’s see if it materializes.

It’s been a busy week!

A Whirlwind Week of New Beginnings: Family, Cycling, and Resilience 🚴‍♂️
It has been an incredibly busy and rewarding week, filled with milestones that remind me exactly why I am taking on this Ride of Resilience.


The Best News First: Our Family is Growing! 👶💖
Most importantly, I am thrilled to announce the arrival of my new granddaughter! Noa was born last Friday morning, and she is simply perfect. It has been a whirlwind few months for us—we’ve gone from one grandchild to three in just eight weeks! My second grandson, Isaac, arrived in February, and now Noa has joined the family. They are a powerful reminder of the future we are building toward. 🍼🌟


A New Chapter: LCI Certification 🎓🚲
The weekend was intense, to say the least! Immediately following Noa’s birth on Friday morning, I spent the rest of the weekend completing the League of American Bicyclists’ League Cycling Instructor (LCI) program.

I am proud to share that I am now a Certified Cycling Instructor! This is just the beginning of a new journey, and I’m excited to start sharing my passion for safe cycling with others as I begin this next chapter. 


Fundraising Milestone: $1,000 and Counting! 📈💰
On the fundraising front, we have officially surpassed the $1,000 mark!

A huge shout-out and thank you to Jason Howard, a fellow ZOLL Data team member and first responder, for his very generous donation. Your support means the world to me. 🙏 We still have a long way to go to reach our goal, and I am deeply grateful to everyone who has donated or is planning to support this cause. 🤝


Thank you for being part of this journey with me. Onward! 🚴‍♂️💨
