I am proud to be taking part in the Snowball Cancer Challenge rides for the 7th year in a row. Last year we ended up riding over 750 miles in 2 rides. On Feb 5th I will be riding 500 and on the 12th I'll be riding another 500 with another group including my 15 year old son Cooper. When asked why we do this the reason is that Nick and this Foundation truly do make a difference in the lives of those dealing with cancer. I never gave much consideration to the costs associated with travel to get to treatments, missed work for loved ones, etc. None of these are covered by insurance and can significantly add up for families. Last year my dear friend riding buddy Ben and I raised over $15,000 for this cause. We couldn't have done this without all of the support our friends and family provided. Thank you everyone for your consideration. We're hoping for smooth trails and above 0 temps!
As part of the Snowball Cancer Challenge 2026, Nick Keller’s Valentine Ride will continue in his memory. On February 5, 2026 and February 12, 2026, a group of riders will attempt to ride 250+ or 500+ miles in ONE DAY. These riders will obtain pledges and donations to keep them motivated on their long ride(s).
The money raised will go to the Keller Family Community Foundation to support its mission.
All donations will be tax deductible.
