David Martyn Hopper
December 27, 1964 - March 15, 2019
Dave Hopper - known as "Marty" to his father - fought his battle with prostate cancer for over 7 years. In his memory, we started this contest as a way to raise funds for cancer research while honoring his love for college basketball.​​​
A die-hard Mizzou Tigers fan, Dave/Marty loved to watch college hoops with family and friends. As you watch March Madness this year, please think of him, have a laugh, cheers a friend, and don't be afraid to yell at your TV, we know he would have!
​
You can hear Dave/Marty describe his battle with cancer in his own words in his Pedal The Cause Featured Fighters video, linked below.
