Cancer Survivors Need Your Support Now

At 55, I've learned that life's greatest challenges are best faced head-on — and that's exactly what the Leadville 100 MTB demands. But as tough as this race is, it pales in comparison to the fight that cancer survivors face every single day.

The people in my life who have battled cancer are my greatest motivation. Their courage fuels every training mile and will carry me up every climb on race day. That's why I've committed to raising $4,000 for LIVESTRONG — to give back to those fighting a far harder battle than any mountain bike race.

Your donation directly funds free, critical programs for people navigating cancer — including fertility support for young adults, the LIVESTRONG at the Y fitness program that helps survivors rebuild strength after treatment, and Ellis, LIVESTRONG's AI service that connects people to trusted resources when they need it most.

Race day is August 15, 2026.  Every dollar raised before then makes a direct impact.

I'll be sharing updates from my training and race day journey right here, so check back as I climb toward the finish line — and toward our goal together.

With Gratitude,
