  • The Jimmy Fund for Dana Farber Cancer Institute (I donate every year)

    LiveStrong (used to be Lance Armstrong Foundation). I rode two charity rides for them and was also a delegate for the Foundation.

    RideMS. Hope to to another charity ride for them, maybe next year.
  • I love the Ronald McDonald House. The work they do to help the families of sick kids is amazing. I've also done events and campaigns for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. My sister-in-law used to work for them so we all started helping then and just kept in contact when she left.

    I was really impressed by the Ronald McDonald house when H's cousin had to relocate 5 hours from where they live to be close to children's hospital when thier son was born with cancer. They are back home cancer free for a year now but I know having the Ronald McDonald house saved them a ton of stress
