Why I Ride

Hi, this is Austin's dad. I ride because of the fact that my son is healthy and strong. He's a bright, sociable and capable person who wouldn't be here without the incredible staff at Children's.

In my opinion cancer is still too much guess work. We truly felt that our opinions and concerns were part of the treatment which is a good thing and a scary thing all at the same time. The chemo treatment was almost without question the way to go and Dr Foreman knew exactly what he wanted to accomplish. The radiation was a little more tricky as the combination of chemo and radiation is tricky and the side effects can be severe. I ride to ensure that future generations don't have to guess, they don't have weigh the options, they just know based on great research.

Please help us in helping raise money for this fantastic organization that gives back lives.
