Last October, I lost a friend to Leukemia. Corey was someone I met through a woodworking guild.
And recently, a friend of mine found out his son Landon (who also has Down's Syndrome) has been diagnosed with Lukemia. He is going through Chemo, and countless other treatments.
Please support my fundraising efforts for this fantastic cause by encouraging me to ride 150 miles in the boiling sun of summer, with the wind blowing us back to the starting line. (If it only wasn't true...;) ) The Scenic Shore 150 Bike Tour is a two-day, 150 mile, fully-supported cycling event that is open to riders of all ages and abilities. One of Wisconsin's most popular bike rides, the Scenic Shore 150 is the largest locally organized and supported event for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. With 1,300 riders raising over $1.4 million the Scenic Shore 150 continues to be one of the premier charity cycling events in Wisconsin.

LLS has provided assistance to many who need help at the worst times of their lives. Please join me in supporting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) by making a donation to my fundraising campaign. Thanks to your support, my efforts, will help fund the therapies and treatments and help save lives. LLS's continued advancements over the years, are responsible for the blood cancer survival rate doubling and tripling; in some cases, the survival rate has even quadrupled.
And many LLS supported therapies not only help blood cancer patients but are now used to treat patients with rare forms of stomach and skin cancers. They're even being tested in clinical trials for patients with a range of cancers including lung, brain, breast, pancreatic and prostate cancers. LLS funded drugs are now being tested for patients with other non-cancerous diseases like Diabetes, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Multiple Sclerosis.
We really are changing the face of blood cancer!
All donations are greatly appreciated and are tax deductible. They'll not only support LLS research but patient services, advocacy, public and professional education, and community services as well.
Please visit my Web site often and bring friends who would also like to donate!

Here are Paul and I after the finish line in 2018 after a long, windy, rainy weekend. The sun finally came out within the last couple of hours of our ride!
