I'm Riding For

Suzi Chase Williams and Mom

2016 &17 I rode for Suzi as she went through many treatments to fight this awful disease. Sadly, Oct 2017 she lost her battle. Suzi’s humor, beautiful smile and her never give up spirit was an inspiration to me and many others. She was a true Cancer Warrior. Suzi will always be carried in my heart.♥️ This is my second season on Callie’s Crew. She has fought so darn hard over the past yrs. Callie was 9 years old and sadly lost her battle earlier this year. Callie and her Mom shared Callie’s heartbreaking fight and love. This touched me deeply. No child or family should have to bare this pain and go through this. We have GOT to find a cure!! Please donate to GCC to support these kids and help find a cure!

My Story

4 Sep 2026

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.

I am dedicating this years ride to Marley, a 11 yr old local (Willits) girl who is in a battle with Osteosarcoma diagnosed last year. Marley will be finishing her chemo treatments later this year. please consider showing your support for Marley and all fighting this scary battle. Check out my blog for more.

Peace and Love Ellen

Marley

3 Sep 2026

I’ve been a rider / contributor for a total 7 yrs to GCC. My first Challenge was in 2015 the very first year GCC started. ♥️

I am grateful and inspired to be able to continue in this challenge now at age 77.

I began riding to support a childhood friend Suzi Chase and My Mom who had passed due to Cancer, I wanted to honor them. Fast forward to 2026 a number of my DEAR friends are fighting the battle and I hold them in my heart as I ride. Lastly,

I am an active member of Willits Lions Club serving our community. Last week we hosted a fund raiser for Marley, a local 11 yr old girl with

Osteosarcoma. Marley is one amazing kid! Im dedicating my ride to her this year 💖
