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.
I will never forget how my Aunt Joan and her family were affected by cancer over 40 years ago. Since then, this disease has affected too many close friends and family members. My research work is on hepatitis viruses, which substantially increase the risk of cancer (many viruses have that effect), though there is still much to learn about how that occurs.
Last year I trained for two months ahead of time and then rode 50 miles - all of it was awesome, especially the support and donations from family and friends!
This year, I'm doing the challenging 62 mile course - a "metric century (100km)" and have pledged to raise $1,500. I've cycled over 200 miles in training rides since August to get ready. Now it's time to do it!
