Having worked at UIU for a number of years – too many to count – and having rode RAGBRAI with Team Peacock raising money for great UIU causes – I’ve seen that there are many things that make a difference here. This July when I pedal across Iowa in the summer heat, I hope to make a difference for students as I help raise money for the Women's Track & Field program.

Many thanks to Gene & Janice Pleggenkuhle and Duane & Olivia Pleggenkuhle for their donations.
