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.

“Brian, Thank you so much for supporting childhood cancer research, my ride, and Ashton. It has been a rough 8 months for Ashton and his family. Hopefully he will make it through treatment without too many residual effects. I hope you and your family are doing well. I hear you are involved with Camp Mariposa. I hope you love the program as much as I did. Again, thank you.”

“Ximena, Thank you so much for supporting childhood cancer research, Ashton, and my ride. It has been a rough 8 months for Ashton and his parents. We are hoping that he continues to do well with the treatment and will not suffer from too many residual effects. Although we have not met in person, I hear wonderful things about you from Gary and Cheryl. Hopefully we will have an opportunity to meet in the near future. I am keeping my fingers crossed that the temperature will drop so that I can get started with my ride.”
