Again this year, I have decided to participate in a great experience. It will involve cycling for a great cause, and I need your help.

Pelotonia is a grass roots bike tour with one goal: to end cancer. It is a cycling experience that will take place August 20th-22nd. The ride will span two days and will cover as many as 180 miles. I am biking 100 miles on the 21st.

I am writing to ask you to help me reach my fundraising goal. Large or small, every donation makes a difference. Thanks to the generous support of the Huntington Bank, Limited Brands Foundation, and Richard and Peggy Santulli, 100% of every donation will fund essential research at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center - James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute.

We all know someone who has been affected by cancer. By supporting Pelotonia and "Team Accent", you will help improve lives through innovations in research with the ultimate goal of winning the war against cancer. I would love to have your support this year. This truly is a unique opportunity to be a part of something special.

No gift is too small. Any size donations, $10, $20, $50 or more, are all appreciated by our friends at Pelotonia.

When you follow the link below, you will find my rider profile and a simple and secure way to make any size donation you wish.

Think of this not as a donation to me or Pelotonia, but directly to The James. Please consider supporting our efforts and this great cause. Here is the link to my profile:
