In 2020, my nephew Jack lost his life to a brain tumor at the age of 22.  Soon after that I learned that a fellow cyclist, John Accardo, lost his daughter Jenn at the age of 19 from Ewing Sarcoma.  They both were amazing young people who left us at such young ages.

Before she passed, Jenn became very active in raising funds with the St. Baldricks Foundation.  St. Baldrick's uses those funds to support research that finds cures and safer treatments for all childhood cancers, providing hope for children and families facing this fight.  

John has continued that work, and each year leads a group of his fellow bicycle riders on a trip to Montauk Point to raise funds and continue the work that Jenn started.

I am raising money this year to continue their work in remembrance of my nephew, Jack.  I hope in the future young people like Jack and Jenn will be cured from the research that these funds support.

This is why I’m teaming up with John and St. Baldrick’s – the #1 charity funder of childhood cancer research grants – in their 25th year.

Your donation can help ensure that the next 25 years bring hope, progress, and cures. Together, we speed up the progress of saving the lives of these brave children.

Thank you for your donation!
