Dr. Edlin's Rider Profile (October 2011):

It is hard to believe that it was only one year ago when a few friends of ours asked Leisa and me to join them in the inaugural PEDAL THE CAUSE ride for cancer.

The night before the ride, I vividly remember listening to all the speeches given by administrators, doctors, patients, and parents of children afflicted by one form or another of CANCER.

As I looked around the tent, I couldn't believe how lucky and far removed I felt from all of them.

I thought to myself: Glad it's not me speaking at that podium.

As if that would ever happen to me!

No way, not me!

Well, WHY NOT ME!!!

Less than one month later, my beautiful wife Leisa was diagnosed with stage four, Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

At our first appointment at The Siteman Cancer Center, a very nice lady asked Leisa and me if we would like a tour of the facility?  No thanks we said, we are just here for a quick visit. We won't need to know where all the amenities are located since we will only be here this one time?.

After all, this can't be real, it must be a mistake?

It was at that moment that Leisa and I looked at each other and knew that this was real!

Welcome to the show!

Despite the diagnosis of cancer, Leisa's strength never wavered.

I watched as she handled exhausting treatments of chemo with courage, grace, and dignity.

Thanks to new cancer drugs and her doctors at The Siteman Center, Leisa is now in remission.

Leisa and I are now at the podium and while we get to speak, our goal is to help find a cure so no one else has to step up to that podium.

Won't you please join me and support: PEDAL THE CAUSE

Its mission is to provide funding for cancer research at Siteman and St.Louis Children's Hospital.

Every cent raised stays in St. Louis and 100% of what is donated goes towards research.

Please help me in this journey to find new treatments and cures for all cancers by donating to my ride.

I hope you will join me in this grass-roots effort to advance research and find a cure.

Thank you for your generous support!

Michael and Leisa Edlin
