Joe Klausner's story

Last year I completed the 50 miler on my 1986 vintage Motobecane 10 speed and boy that was not easy. Many times I wanted to get off and walk but I somehow pushed on always thinking of and praying to my cousin Marybeth to please help me get up this next hill and the next….
This year I’m using a class one e-bike so hopefully those hills won’t be as daunting!

It’s been 5 years since Marybeth passed. I miss her contagious laughter, quick whit and kind heart. I changed my profile picture to a fond memory of her celebrating the completion of my undergraduate degree with me.

I’m looking forward to riding with Team Marybeth. The addition of my wife Mary to the team this year will make it extra special! She has been an incredible fundraising force for the team!

BellRinger is a bike ride and a year-round effort to end cancer. Our movement is motivated by a community of Riders, Virtual Riders, volunteers, and donors working together to further our impact. 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 so in the future people like my cousin Marybeth can live on to a ripe old age.
