Bringing Bike Party vibes to the Dempsey Challenge...AGAIN!
Thank you for visiting my personal fundraising page for this year's Dempsey Challenge!
This year, I'm bringing the speaker trailer back to the Dempsey Challenge and riding the 50-miler to honor the memory of Kim Charland and Rick Urban. I'm also riding in support of my brother Matteo, who is currently going through cancer treatment. Here's Teo's story, written by my sister Kelsey.
What's the Dempsey Challenge?
The Dempsey Challenge is the premiere fundraising event for the Dempsey Center, a nonprofit founded by actor Patrick Dempsey. Each September, thousands of people break out their inner athletes and challenge themselves to take on a walk, run, or ride event to help make life better for people impacted by cancer. 100% of funds raised by Challenge participants provide personalized, holistic services at no cost to cancer patients, survivors, care partners, bereaved individuals, families, and other loved ones.
Thank you for your support!
