Family and friends,
I’m taking part in the 21st Annual Cycle Across Illinois this year, a 349 (+/-) mile ride to honor my brother, Jeff, who passed away on December 23, 2021.
Jeff tackled life with incredible strength and courage; this ride is my way of keeping his memory alive. The circumstances surrounding his passing stirred a lot of emotions for me, even making me question my faith. But through this journey, I’ve found a path to healing—reflecting on Jeff’s life, connecting with others who understand loss, and turning pain into purpose.
If you can, I’d truly appreciate your support through a donation. Every contribution makes a difference.
Here’s a snapshot of the ride:
July 10th-13th, 2025 ~ The Ride
Day 1: Champaign to Springfield, 99 miles
Day 2: Springfield to Bloomington, 67 miles
Day 3: Bloomington to DeKalb, 118 miles
Day 4: DeKalb to Chicago, 65 miles
It’s a challenging journey, but every mile is meaningful—a chance to honor Jeff and keep his legacy alive.
