I'm Riding For

Luna

This year's 300 mile (min,) bike riding to raise 1300.00 (min.) in September is a tribute to my girl and best friend for over 14 years, who passed away from liver cancer and hiked over the Rainbow Bridge last fall. I've had friends who've passed from cancer as well. Money funds needed cancer treatment and CURE research to end cancer!

My Story

9 Aug 2024

Hey guys!

This September my bike riding won't be simply enjoying fall color riding in Aspen for me and my Sun Dog Athletics guests. I'm bringing kids with cancer along for the ride, taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge 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. WE can help!

Kids should be living life, not fighting for it. So, I"m 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 future they deserve.

Your support will change little lives and your heart will feel good. Helping others will make them healthy and happy and us happy, as givers!

Thank you!

Erik

If we all do a bit, every dollar helps, it will mean a LOT for kids fighting cancer and for their lives. They have the rest of their lives to live for, if they can get healthy!

“Dear Jim, Thanks so much for your caring, thoughtfulness and generosity in helping kids fighting cancer and for their lives. It's not fair, but we can be part of the solution. It means a lot and will hopefully INSPIRE others to pitch in as well! Ride on, as daily exercise is key to good health! Appreciate you! Erik & Luna”

“Good morning Sam! Thanks for your kindness & generosity in supporting my Great Cycling Challenge, which isn't over! Back early from my fall vacation, I'm "sneaking in" a ride to Maroon Bells today to hopefully inspire even more support. When we help kids fighting cancer, it really doesn't get any more meaningful and loving. I appreciate your recognition of this real form of achieving happiness, by helping others truly in need. I couldn't be any more proud to have you as my niece & Goddaughter! Uncle Erik”
