My Story

31 Aug 2026

This is my sixth year riding in the Great Cycle Challenge, and every year I’m reminded why I keep coming back.

Childhood cancer is something no child—or family—should ever have to face. These kids are fighting battles that most of us can’t imagine, yet they continue to show incredible courage and strength.

For me, this ride is about doing something I love while making a difference in the lives of children who desperately need our support. Every mile I ride and every dollar I raise helps fund research and support the fight against childhood cancer.

Six years in, I’m proud to keep pedaling, keep raising awareness, and keep fighting alongside these amazing kids.

I hope you’ll join me by supporting my ride. Together, we can help give these children a better chance at the healthy, happy childhood they deserve.
