My Story

10 Aug 2024

This September, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge for the 4th year 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.

Between 2020, 2021, and 2022 we raised $6,885.04 for the Children’s Cancer Research Fund! Unfortunately I was unable to participate in this cause last year, but I am excited to be back and a part of it again.

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

Your support will change little lives.

Thank you!
