Finishing the Ride for Cockayne Syndrome, #ride4Riaan 2025

Completed! In 2025, I returned to the Bass Lake Powerhouse Double Century to finish the ride I couldn’t last year. It was meaningful in more ways than I thought. We raised over $10,000 for the Riaan Research Initiative, completing a one-year journey to honor my promise.

Funding a cure for Cockayne Syndrome, #ride4Riaan 2024

Completed! In October, I took on the Bass Lake Powerhouse Double Century for my fourth annual #ride4Riaan. This was the biggest cycling challenge I ever attempted. We raised almost $15,000 for the Riaan Research Initiative — the most ever for any single event!

Fighting blood cancers with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, 2024

Completed! I cycled 100 miles around Lake Tahoe, CA in June, and we raised over $5,500 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and patients with blood cancers. It was the most ever for this charity and my fastest time around the lake. Thank you!

Reflections on my fourth #Ride4Riaan

On October 12, I faced the Bass Lake Powerhouse Double Century, a challenging 200-mile bike ride raising nearly $15,000 for the Riaan Research Initiative, supporting families affected by Cockayne syndrome. Though I couldn’t complete the full distance, the journey highlighted community support and our shared mission to make a difference.
