This May, I'm going the distance for the health of those affected by colon cancer, as well as my own!

I am taking part in the 2024 National Tour de Tush, a ride to end colon cancer! 

As most of you know, my brother, Peter, was diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer at age 50 in 2020. Thank goodness he went for a colonoscopy as soon as he was eligible. He is now 5 years post-diagnosis and 2+ years post liver transplant and thriving! I am forever thankful to the clinical trial, his doctors and nurses, the researchers, and his liver donor and their family. Now it is time for me to give back.

I am recovering from a major knee injury so will be doing this ride virtually, doing a few miles a day on my exercise bike, every day in May.

It is estimated that nearly 153,000 people will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer this year. Colorectal cancer is the 2nd leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States and, by 2030, is projected to be the #1 cause of cancer deaths for adults under 50.

We are going the distance (in miles!) for all those affected by colorectal cancer while raising awareness and funds for research in the Tour de Tush.

Together, we can make a difference! One hundred percent of the funds raised from this event will go toward research efforts for colorectal cancer.

Colorectal Cancer can be preventable, treatable, and beatable. Let's work together to spread awareness and funds for research to ensure this statement rings true.  

PLEASE donate now and support me in my challenge.

Thank you.
