Lori Bernstein
On my mom’s 73rd birthday, she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. She lived for 16 months. She was amazing through the whole—her whole struggle, and her whole battle, really. Of course, here she was with pancreatic cancer, and she was making sure that she made her donation to the Tour de Pier, because she knew […]

I ride for everyone that can’t. I’ve been involved with the Tour de Pier since its conception. I remember the first year looking at it and saying, “This is amazing. This is gigantic.” But I seem to say the same thing every year as it continues to grow and continues to get better and better. […]
Robbie & Dylan Knowles
Like many of us, Robbie & Dylan Knowles have been impacted by cancer. In fact, multiple people close to them have dealt with cancer. When their aunt was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, it really hit home. The Knowles brothers watched their cousins struggle through their mom’s battle and subsequent passing, and they knew they wanted […]
Karen Hunt
My story is a little different. It has two parts to it, two different cancers. About two years ago, in December 2016, I found a lump in my breast and suddenly I had breast cancer. I have had several friends with breast cancer who have gone through a variety of surgeries and medical procedures so […]

Benjamin Bequer: Why I Ride I lost my father to pancreatic cancer in September of 2016. The Tour De Pier is a very emotional day because I remember riding in 2016 while he was gravely ill and still hopeful that he would win his battle with cancer. He was not only my father, he was […]

Marley McLaughlin
Hi, I’m the Amazing Princess Marley! As many of you know, I was diagnosed with brain cancer at age 2. Not only did I confront this with all my might but I kicked cancer’s ass (my Dad said that bad word not me). Until last year, I was cancer-free. It pains me to tell you […]
Liz & TJ Underhill
Let the games begin Liz & TJ Underhill There is nothing our family loves more than a good wager on something, and there really isn’t anything we won’t bet on. So when TJ and I were riding at the Tour de Pier – of course there needed to be a wager. TJ and I believe strongly in […]
TJ Underhill
Game Changer By TJ Underhill Five years ago I lost a very important person in my life – Kory Hunter. Though I was only eight years old when he passed away, he had a very big impact on my life. You see, Kory was a really happy guy who was always ready to have fun, […]

Jennifer Caras
The first year I rode in Tour de Pier, one of my very best friends and I got a bike. It was such an incredibly inspiring, heartwarming day that she said to me “We have got to get a team together in honor of your sister and do this next year!” Julie’s Angels has grown […]
Dr. Donna Varela
I rode last year (2017) for the first time. I ride for the camaraderie. Although my dad cannot be here physically, he is still here supporting this fight against pancreatic cancer. Along with the thousands of others who show up for this ride. On May 17th 2008, my father, Richard Varela, lost his battle with […]
