This year, in addition to honoring my dad, I'm dedicating my ride to the memory of Heights High alumni of the class of 1974 who lost their battles with cancer well before their time. 

The Tour de Pier brings hundreds of stationary cycling bikes to the iconic Manhattan Beach Strand to create awareness and raise funds for three outstanding cancer charities: Hirshberg Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research, the Cancer Support Community South Bay and the Uncle Kory Foundation. 

Please consider contributing towards my fundraising efforts today. Or if you'd like, you can join me for a day of fun at the beach, remembering those we have lost and celebrating those who are currently battling this disease. Together we can make a huge difference so that no one faces cancer alone.
