As many know, my daughter and niece are childhood cancer survivors but there are many children in this world that aren’t so fortunate. The ordeal itself is challenging and heartbreaking even with positive outcomes. Sadly the gravity of it is something most are blind to unless it hits closer to home.

This year we were reminded again of the urgency of treatment advancements. In February we attended the funeral of a 16-year-old girl that we met 2 years ago when she first started getting treatment for B-ALL in the same clinic as Joslyn. This makes two years in a row that we have felt the devastating heartbreak of those percentages of children that lose their battles. Last year Joslyn lost a dear friend from Camp Discovery. Even though it has been two years since her passing, it was still very emotional for Joslyn to not see Sofia’s beautiful smile at camp this year.

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

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.

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.

Please support me by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve. You can also join our team (Slow sPokes) and ride with us!

Your support will change little lives.

It did for Joslyn and Gabrielle 💜❤️

In memory of Joslyn’s friend Sofia and her other friend from clinic🙏
