BecauseYouCan Cycle Challenge

Tax deductible
Imagine not being able to hug your loved ones, and/or losing the language to tell them you care. What would it be like to find yourself unable to do the activities that have brought you joy your whole life, and the tasks that keep your world together? This progressive deterioration of life quality is what people with Neurodegenerative Diseases face every day.

My dad was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis when I was 7 years old. I was growing up, learning new skills, conquering new challenges, and ascending to new heights, while he was just as steadily losing control of his body, and we were powerless to stop the disease’s progression. He has struggled everyday now for over 30 years, it has affected us all. Today he is bed ridden, & paralyzed from the neck down. He has taught me to never take anything for granted, and to cherish the small things.
He is my inspiration everyday, and the inspiration for BecauseYouCan.

Check out his story:

On August 29th 2015 I will be joining a team of people who will gather in Italy for the “Because You Can” cycle ride through the dolomites. This 3 day, 73+ mile ride will challenge riders both physically and mentally.

I’ve joined this #BecauseYouCan Challenge Ride through the Dolomite Mountains to take meaningful action, and to raise awareness and funds for those facing these debilitating diseases.

I’m conquering my challenge in order to help people with Neurodegenerative Disease tackle theirs, and I NEED YOUR HELP!

Please help me reach my goal in order to fund quality of life-enhancing tools and experiences for people with these Neurodegenerative challenges. There are so many support systems, capabilities, and experiences that we all take for granted that are in fact quality of life-keystones.

This is a great opportunity to do something concrete and meaningful to positively influence people’s lives.
