This year, I registered for the Komen Maryland Promise Ride because I want to help save lives by raising funds for local breast health programs and national research.  I'll be riding in honor of my grandmother Cornelia Rich, who was fortunately able to survive both breast and ovarian cancer and live another ~20 years until her passing.

More than 41,000 people in the U.S. are expected to die this year from breast cancer.  Together we will fund the biggest boldest science and we will not stop until this disease is gone forever.

Please support me in my ride by clicking the donate button.  If I reach $1,000, I will bump the ride to 65 miles, and if I reach $2,500, I will bump it to 100 miles.

**Update** I hit goal #1 ($500) July 19, goal #2 ($1,000) July 21, and now aim to reach my final goal ($2,500) before I ride August 23.  Thanks again to everyone that has donated, and any additional donations would be greatly appreciated!

(And yes, I realize my last name is misspelled in the donation section).
