Who We Ride For: Steve Damm

It is with heavy hearts that we report the passing of a loving, courageous, exceptional human being: Steve Damm. We've never met Steve but have followed his fight against brain cancer in his wife's stellar, love-filled blog: http://checkonsteve.blogspot.com/ Cancer took his physical health but it couldn't slay his wicked sense of humor or his tremendous will to press on. He was one of the people we rode for, and because we were so familiar with the details of his fight, he was one of our biggest inspirations as we rode.

Please send your thoughts to his wife and two young kiddos.

Be well,

Arik and Mia

  1. Hi Mia! This is Michelle Jacobs from Haynes and Boone last summer. My sister knew Steve Damm and we just came across your blog. Such a neat thing you and Arik are doing! Hope you're having a blast doing it. And I hope to see you this fall back at Haynes and Boone--I don't know where you decided to take an offer, but hopefully Haynes and Boone. :)
