WHY: Let''s Ride for Prostate Cancer was started by Gulf War veteran
Scott Hellzen and his wife, Ana. After celebrating his 40th
birthday in Kuwait and Iraq, Scott returned home, where he
received a complete physical. Within days, he was diagnosed
with prostate cancer. Shocked by the news, the couple began to
investigate treatment options, finally finding information,
answers to their questions, friends and support for their
entire family from Us TOO International, a non-profit prostate
cancer education and support network for prostate cancer
patients and their families.

While Scott is healthy today, he and his wife wanted to raise
awareness about the importance of early prostate cancer
detection, so they created this ride, which they hope to make
an annual event. To demonstrate their appreciation for Us TOO
and the work it does to help families through a diagnosis,
Scott and Ana designated Us TOO as the beneficiary of all
proceeds from the event.
