Dan and Sheila Timm Breakaway Award
Pedal the Cause created the Dan & Sheila Timm Breakaway Award in 2021 to annually honor an individual whose passion, leadership and extraordinary efforts to create a world without cancer have fostered the spirit of innovation and hope, while empowering positive change in the lives of those faced with a cancer diagnosis.
2024 Recipient Nicole Stubblefield
Nicole’s journey with Pedal began at 24, supporting her father Greg "Stubby" Stubblefield in his battle with head and neck cancer. She started Team Stubby Strong with him in 2017. Now in his memory, she continues to lead the team. Team Stubby Strong has raised over $533,000, earning their place in the Pedal the Cause Gold Impact Society. Nicole herself is the third all-time fundraiser in Pedal history, personally raising over $413,000. As our youngest board member, Nicole's unwavering commitment and leadership continue to inspire the next generation. With seven years on the Podium, and set to make it eight in 2024, her dedication is truly exemplary.
