Hello Friends,

This year marks my 11th year riding in Padres Pedal the Cause—now known as the Curebound Cancer Challenge—and I remain as committed as ever to this powerful mission: to help end cancer.

What began as a bike ride has grown into a deeply personal journey filled with hope, community, and impact. I ride in honor of those we’ve lost, those still fighting, and in support of the research that offers a brighter tomorrow. Cancer has touched too many lives, and I ride so we can change that—together.

Over the years, this event has raised millions of dollars to fund groundbreaking research at six leading cancer institutions in San Diego. Your donation directly supports clinical trials, pediatric advancements, early detection methods, and innovative treatments that are saving lives.

Every dollar you give helps scientists and doctors push boundaries—turning hope into action. Together, we can accelerate the path to cures and create a future without cancer.

Will you join me in this mission?  Also please let me know if you would like to join the fun and either ride, do a spin class, or walk.  Thank you for your continued support of Curebound.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Julie Tafel Klaus
