Why I rode my bicycle across America

In memory of My Brother Bob...

In September 2002 my older brother Bob died of cancer. This disease does not discriminate and can hit anyone at anytime. My brother was an active, healthy, loving and hard working man. Still this horrible disease took him from our family in a moment.

"The best gift we can give our children is our time"

My son Nick...What an amazing young man! His compassion and caring for others is incredible. He is everything to me and I love him so very much! Several years ago we planned to do this ride together but due to unforeseen circumstances we weren't able to. Since then, Nick has made the decision to serve his country and has enlisted in the United States Military..Very proud of him!!!
