My Story

7 Feb 2024

This September, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!

Why? Because right now, cancer is the biggest killer of children from disease in the United States. Over 15,700 children are diagnosed every year, and sadly, 38 children die of cancer every week.

Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.

So I am raising funds through my challenge to help these kids and support Children's Cancer Research Fund to allow them to continue their work to develop lifesaving treatments and find a cure for childhood cancer.

Please support me by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.

Your support will change little lives.

Thank you.

Austin

    Hi all, for those not following me on Facebook. After September (or October if the challenge is extended) I will send a thank you note mentioning each of my supporters. I will list the number of donors who have opted to be anonymous, as everyone deserves to be recognized in one way or another.

    Here is my facebook: Austin Buzzell-Shane; https://www.facebook.com/austin.buzzellshane/

  • Thanks to all who've donated so far!
    16 Aug 2024

    I'm trying something new this year. Before September starts, I'm going to try to match my miles ridden to how much I've raised. As I've raised $249 so far, from today to the end of August, I'm going to ride at least 49 miles. Come September, I'll be adding one mile per donation to the 200 miles I've set my goal to.

    11.44 miles added, so far! 37.56 to go!

    Thanks to all who've donated so far!
