This May, I'm going the distance in memory of my father-in-law, Dave Schoessow. I'm committing to 180 miles for the 180 days Dave fought his stage 4 diagnosis in 2022 with a fundraising goal of $3/mile.

I am taking part in the 2025 National Tour de Tush, a ride to end colon cancer! 

It is estimated that nearly 154,000 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.
