Amy Garten's story

BellRinger is a bike ride and a year-round effort to end cancer. The movement is motivated by a community of Riders, Virtual Riders, volunteers, and donors working together to further cancer research. I've made a commitment to fundraising, and I invite you to join me by donating to my effort and supporting life-saving cancer research at Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center.

As many of you know, my father was diagnosed with Glioblastoma (an aggressive cancer impacting the brain and spinal cord) in May of 2011, less than two months after my first child was born. It was truly the happiest and saddest time of my life. He passed away in December of that same year. He was one of the healthiest people I knew and loved playing/watching sports, exercising daily and living an overall healthy lifestyle. His motto was "Your Health is Your Wealth"!
