Donate Snowball Cancer | Snowball Cancer Challenge 2026

Gary Schotanus

I am excited to participate in the ride with a mission to help families that are encountering a major life challenge facing cancer. I am riding in memory of my dad who we lost to cancer in 2004 and I’m also riding to celebrate my recoveries from kidney cancer in 2012 and prostate cancer in 2018. Thanks for the opportunity to participate in the ride and be a part of the team. Thank you donors for your support.

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.
