Welcome to My Personal Page

We ride memory of Poppa, as her grandpa was known to Maya, my daughter. My dad, known to family and friends as B.J. It's in his memory we ride – as we also remember and honor friends of ours who have encountered the challenges of a brain tumor diagnosis.
When my daughter, Maya, was four years old, my father (her grandfather) was diagnosed an incurable glioblastoma brain tumor. During his illness, she'd sit on his lap and play animal lotto as she giggled at the awesome animal sounds my dad made as they played. My memories of my dad, B.J., stretch more than 60 years and encompassed precious moments we had together. My dad was my biggest backer, right with me for every step I took even when my steps were unconventional or unexpected.
Join B.J.'s Team by riding with us or by contributing in support of our ride. This will be our 18th year riding at B.J.'s Team in this event. And when we ride I always remember the times when my dad told me how much he wanted to help others who were afflicted with a brain tumor, especially children.
For many of you, this will be your 18th year with us on B.J.'s Team. We are grateful that you've been with us in spirit for all the miles we've biked on these annual Brain Tumor Rides. For those of you joining B.J.'s Team for the first time, we welcome and thank you.
We ride to fulfill my dad's wish. Our ride is successful only when you join us on B.J.'s Team. All best, Melissa
