I'm Riding For
In Honor of Ruth Smith and Memory of Michael Smith & Art Henne.
I'm riding in honor of my Mother-in-law in her fight against cancer. Also in memory of my dad, Mike, and my former pastor, Art Henne.
My Story
This is my 6th year riding. I am riding in honor of my Mother-in-law. Cancer has also taken my dad and a lot of friends and pets. It is unimaginable to lose 38 children a week in the US because of this disease.
The last two years I have failed to hit my 300 mileage and $3000 goal. So that has been adding to my motivation to make up for it this year. So, in 2023, I will ride 310 miles and raise $3100 with your help!
Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.
Please support me by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.
All donations are 100% tax deductible and help fight children's cancer.
Your support will change little lives.
I looked into the group and it is approved by the BBB and money goes to a great cause. I promise to keep everyone updated on my progress with pictures (and keep me accountable to ride). I've donated the first $50.
Thank you.

Bike repair
14 Sep 2023Well, I got a message from the Bike Shop in Columbus. As I had suspected (and told them) - my back wheel is bad. By bad - they found damaged spokes (in addition to the two they had removed last year) and corrosion inside the wheel.
So a new wheel is being ordered ... I should be able to hit the road by mid next week.
