My Story

27 Aug 2026

Year 9 ... this September, I am again taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer for my ninth annual challenge! Cancer remains the biggest killer of children from disease in the United States. Over 15,000 children are diagnosed every year, and sadly, 38 children die of cancer every week. Kids must live life without having to fight for it.

So I am raising funds through my challenge to help these kids and support the Children's Cancer Research Fund to allow them to continue their work to develop lifesaving treatments and find a cure for childhood cancer. Over the past eight years, my team of supporters have raised over $81,000.00 in support of the fight to KICK CANCER'S BUTT!! Hope my team continues to support this fight!!

Please support me by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve. Your support will change little lives.

Thank you.
