Meet the Riders

I was born and raised in Philadelphia, PA. In 1985 moved to Dallas, TX and lived there until 1993. From Dallas, my wife Linda and I moved to Orlando, FL. In 1998 we moved to Sun City Center, FL where I have been involved in many bike rides through out the previous years and look forward to this 2,400 mile ride which will be a challenge, and of course for a great cause, pediatric cancer research. I have supported and participated in previous pediatric cancer drives in Orlando, FL and look forward to the successful completion of this one.

I was born in Joplin, Missouri and spent most of my life in Kansas City, Missouri. Recently, my wife Kim, and I relocated to Sun City Center. I have always been active in sports, in 1995 I took up cycling. I have participated in many rides to benefit various charitable organizations and am pleased to have been offered this opportunity to get involved with this very worthwhile cause. I hope our efforts will produce a profound impact on the reseach and cure for pediatric cancer.

I was born in Bavaria, Germany. I came to the United States in 1958 and my wife Frances came in 1959. We celebrated our 50th anniversary this past September. We have 2 children and 3 grandchildren. We lived in New York until 1996 and then we moved to Oklahoma. In 2004 we took a vacation in Florida and found this beautiful place called Sun City Center with so many wonderful activities. I have been riding bicycles all my life. I look forward to this 2,400 mile ride for a great cause, pediatric cancer research and support.

Living in Sun City Center, Florida, is a privilege. Riding for pediatric cancer is a precious obligation. My granddaughter, Sammy, died from osteo sarcoma. She was only 9. I hope that our ride will support cancer research so that no other children need to suffer from this horrible sickness. I am so grateful to all our Greater Sun City Center neighbors for joining us in this battle...each in his/her own way.
