My Story
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.
Thank you.
My Challenge

5 days to go!
26 Sep 2026Sore butt, sore knees, but so worth it! On the final stretch of my 500 mile goal for the month of September to kick cancers butt and help the sweet kiddos in need.
It’s been tough what with record breaking highs hovering around 105 every day the first two weeks of the challenge. However Fall is upon us now here in Bentonville and the weather has been delightful.
I’ve even been doing early evening rides through the woods after the sun goes down and it’s been awesome! There’s quite a few other riders doing night rides as well - it’s a whole other vibe😎
