Aidan
My Story
This September, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer! As the father of a son who was diagnosed with A.L.L. (acute lymphoblastic leukemia) at the precious age of 2, we lived the hellish battle of 3 1/2 years that he went through to save his life. We are so thankful he is healthy and well now, but WE CAN DO BETTER!
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.
