My husband Jon was the strongest person I have ever met. He fought an impossible battle with a rare form of this terrible disease, primary mediastinal germ cell cancer. Expanding research is so essential into finding cures, especially for someone like my husband who had no secure treatment option. The ups, the downs, the frustration, the lack of options, the travel, the google searches, the hope, the desperation, are all part of the bumpy, never ending road cancer treatment brings you on. If this fundraiser can help start a new research trial and find one new treatment, for one new patient somewhere, then it is worth it. 

I am doing this ride in honor of my incredible, strong, determined husband Jon who lost his battle January 28th, 2022. He was so proud of the passion determination he saw from me and I hope to continue to make him proud. I know he will be watching over me March 11th.  I am also doing this in honor of my strong Uncle Scott, a cancer fighter, as well as my amazing Grandpa, a cancer survivor. These men inspire me every day. ❤
