Throughout my life I have dreamed of cycling across this great country; a dream of mine that has always been put on the backburner until now. In August of 2012 I was diagnosed with Stage 3 Testicular Cancer and my eyes were opened. Not having much knowledge about this disease led to it being discovered late. When I was diagnosed the cancer had already spread.
        My journey was difficult but I still remained positive; especially when midway through my treatment I was forced to switch hospitals due to the effects of Hurricane Sandy. This experience taught me the importance of raising awareness and promoting monthly self exams. 
        Along with the Testicular Cancer Foundation, my Jingle All The Way Ride will be a great opportunity to help young men detect this disease early. My journey will take me over 3,000 miles from San Diego, California to St. Augustine, Florida. I will be stopping at various locations along my route to promote awareness by speaking to groups of young men about this disease.
        Testicular Cancer is the number 1 Cancer in young men ages 15-35 years old and is highly treatable when found early.Together with your help we can make a difference and save the lives of young men.
