To keep things short, my brother Ryan was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2014, so in a fund raising effort I am going to ride my bike from Seattle, Washington to Oshkosh, Wisconsin(2600 miles), starting in May.  My goal is to raise $10,000 to help pay for the surgeries and multiple chemotherapy treatments.  10% of that will help cover my expenses, like eating and sleeping in the occasional hotel.  The rest goes to Ryan and the family. 

Ryan did a 10 month tour in Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2009, and has been a member of the National Guard for 8 years.  Now we can all help him beat cancer.
