2,505 miles and 119,857 have lead us to Sunday June 2nd in Tahoe!

2,505 miles. 119,857 feet elevation gain. That's how far (and how high) we've ridden our tandem bicycle since our wedding in July 2012. For those of you who were there, you know that our goal was to train for a 100-mile ride around Lake Tahoe (America's Most Beautiful Bike Ride) to raise  funds for City of Hope's Mantle Cell Lymphoma research program.



Many of you met Kathy's uncle, David Parrish, at the wedding. David is alive today because of City of Hope. He underwent a stem cell transplant in January 2012, and is now participating in a clinical trial at City of Hope. He is doing well, and he continues to play an important role in our lives. We hope that you will help us honor David and City of Hope by contributing to the continued success of their Mantle Cell Lymphoma research program. 

Thank you!
-Kathy & Keith Williamson

How To Donate  to City of Hope
Please call 866-683-HOPE (4673), and be sure to mention "David Parrish" and indicate that your donation should go specifically to Mantle Cell Lymphoma research. Unfortunately, City of Hope's online donation site does not support this type of targeted donation. You may also send a check to the following address:
1055 Wilshire Blvd. #1200
Los Angeles, CA 90017
Please write "David Parrish / Mantle Cell Lymphoma research" in the memo area of the check.  

About Mantle Cell Lymphoma
Mantle Cell Lymphoma is a rare type of blood cancer, for which fewer than 15,000 people in the US are currently receiving treatment. Because it is so rare, it receives less research funding than other types of lymphomas. 


We invite you to join us as we celebrate Uncle David! 
Onward we roll!
Kathy & Keith
