BIOGRAPHY

Hello, my name is Peter and I am a sophomore studying at the Gies College of Business from Arlington Heights, IL. I'm an avid Bears fan and could play Yahtzee for hours. I'm a lover of anything indie and when I'm not listening to music, you can catch me biking instead. Outside of the Illini 4k, I'm involved with WPGU- Champaign's Alternative radio station and the Illinois Music Business Club.

PERSONAL STATEMENT

Sadly, it seems nearly universal to have had encounters with cancer. So, to have this opportunity to raise money for cancer research by doing something that I love is incredible. To be a part of the Portraits Project and hear and document people's experiences with cancer across the country-- to me that's even more incredible. I'm doing this ride to help out how I can, raising funds and sharing people's stories. My hope is that at some point within our lifetimes, cancer doesn't have to be a universal experience anymore.
