In early 2025, my wife Michelle learned she had breast cancer. And while she was very fortunate to catch it early, receive top-flight care throughout her surgery and radiation treatment, it was a terrifying experience that has become all-too-common these days. I'm incredibly grateful to report that Shelly is one of the lucky ones and has received a clean bill of health once more. We know there are many more out there who are not as fortunate, and still in the fight. 

So... I'll be riding the Tour de Pier again this year! 

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

If you can, please consider chipping in towards my fundraising efforts today. And, while I hope to never have to do this ride again... until we cross the finish line I'm proud to be a small part of such a great team. Together we really can make a difference, so that no one has to face cancer alone.

Thanks so much for your time.

Sincerely,

Matt & Shelly
