I'm Riding For

Ashton

This year I am riding in honor of my nephew’s 4 year old son who is being treated for Medulloblastoma, brain cancer. He was diagnosed last December and has undergone surgery and radiation treatments and is now in the process of chemotherapy. Please support my ride and help research because no child should have to go through what Ashton is enduring.

My Challenge

  • A magical day at the zoo with Ashton
    28 Sep 2025

    Yesterday Ashton (and his parents) came to town to visit family and the zoo. This was the first time we had seen Ashton, Brian, and Michelle since April. Since Ashton is finished with radiation and chemotherapy, and his bloodwork numbers are improving, he was able to get out and be around people for the first time in months. It was so good to see that they are all doing well. The day was so special to all of us.

    Well Ashton, I did it. Today I rode 30 miles which makes a total of 105. That finishes my goal. But that doesn’t mean I’m done riding.

    If you have not, please consider donating to support childhood cancer research

    Beautiful day for a ride.
