Art's Tahoe 100-mile Bike Ride

Feb 09, 2012


On June 3, 2012 I will bike 100 miles around mountainous Lake Tahoe in support of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). I have committed to raise $4,000 to help find cures and more effective treatments for blood cancer.


Please help me reach this goal and help improve the lives of blood cancer patients and their families. To kickstart my fundraising, I have donated $100 towards my goal.


In addition to riding and fundraising, I am coaching the Madison team. Our team will travel as a contingent of 35 riders and fundraisers from Wisconsin. Together we will raise more than $135,000 for leukemia and lymphoma research. We will join over 1,500 Team in Training cyclists in Lake Tahoe and will raise more than $4.5 million!


Your contribution makes a difference in the lives of cancer patients. LLS supports early stage research that is not funded by pharmaceutical companies. This support led to the development of Gleevec, a miracle drug that allows people with CML (a chronic form of leukemia) to live normal lives with very few side effects.


I'm riding in memory of my good friend Al, who lost his fight with leukemia. I'm also riding in honor of 6-year old Lucas who just finished 3 years of treatments for childhood leukemia. 20 years ago children did not survive. With today's treatments, 85% of children with leukemia are survivors thanks to research dollars.


If you would like me to ride in honor or someone you know with any form of cancer, indicate this in the comment box when donating. I will wear their name on my bike jersey and will ride 100 miles in their honor.


Thank you for your donation!
