Most of you know I'm a little goofy and for those that don't know that...well, I am!.... and they say that as you grow older, your mind is the first thing to go, so, a few weeks ago on my birthday, before any beer, I announced that I would enter a half marathon run/walk (13.1 miles) for the benefit of cancer research. I will be doing this with my daughter Katie as a "fun" event. She has been training intensely for 4 months. I have been training intensely since August 24! It's a fun event but it's also a serious fundraiser as described below and it has special meaning for me...two close friends and children of friends who are being treated for cancer right now. I'm on the Madison No Fear Dentistry team.. a great group of people who Katie works and plays with! So please, if you can help, donate (tax deductible - a receipt will be mailed to you!) via the link below. Cancer research is important... and you and/or someone close to you, someday might benefit from that research. Thank you!

Welcome to my fundraising page!


I am proudly helping accelerate cancer research and patient treatment initiatives forward at the University of Wisconsin through my involvement in Badger Challenge - an annual walking, running, and biking event which powers the brightest cancer minds, ideas and technologies at UW. We all have been affected by cancer in some way and more needs to be done to combat this terrible disease.

The Badger Challenge's mission is to give 100% of all participant-raised dollars (yes, every penny!) to the most promising UW cancer initiatives both in the laboratory and clinic setting. Since 2016, Badger Challenge has raised over $3.6 million and what’s best of all is our ability to see where the money goes as Badger Challenge presents their Scholars each year!

Badger Challenge takes place in September and 100% of all dollars-raised are presented to the newly announced Scholar Class by January of the next year. This is done quickly so the funds can make an impact in the labs and hospital helping patients and families immediately. 

Help me support Badger Challenge and its UW cancer mission. All contributions are appreciated - whether it is $5 or $500, every dollar counts and you can be assured that every dollar you give goes back to the cause and helping those affected by cancer. 

If you are unable to make a monetary donation at this point, please help us reach our goal by sharing this page with others on social media! Even better, send an email to friends you think might be interested in contributing or joining Badger Challenge and include a link to our page.

To learn more about Badger Challenge (and to sign up yourself!) please go to BadgerChallenge.org.

Thank you so much for your generosity! Together we can help write the story that ends cancer!
