Friends, I am taking part in the 2024 National Tour de Tush, a ride to end colon cancer! For the month of May I will be riding my bike (Peloton and Road Bike) to raise funds to encourage screening, increase awareness, and end colon cancer:

I ride for my wife Vonda - who we lost to colon cancer five years ago in June.
I ride because Colon Cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the US.
I ride because black people have the second-highest incidence of colorectal cancer in the US.
I ride because colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer deaths in black men and women in the US.
I ride because I am a board member of the Colon Cancer Coalition and believe strongly in their dedication to encouraging screening and raising awareness of colorectal cancer.
Lastly, I ride for Danielle and other children who lost a parent to colon 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.

Love and gratitude,

Mary
