Our Hometown Hero!


  • Cancer has touched each of our lives, and Mike has experienced this life challenge first hand. He's a SURVIVOR!!




Mike was a "Hometown Hero" at the Salt Lake City Marathon bike tour on Saturday, April 19th. He earned money to support the the Hunstman Cancer Institute...even earning a "Hero's" jersey. It was great to be out there and ride with Mike.

Saturday we rode the 26.2 mile marathon course before the runners set out. A fun, non-competitive ride, a great "tour" of SLC...over 1700 riders...it was nice to not have to worry about stop lights--just crusin' on through! We finished in about 1:25. And all for a great cause.... Mike earned nearly $800 for cancer research! Mike was awesome, and Becky and Emily cheered us on at the finish.

Hi Dorth!

Thanks for sharing the pics! I wanted to come ride in that race so bad with Mike but we couldn't figure out a way to make it happen. Thanks so much for sharing. This has to be one your best blog posts of all time. Rock on.
