My Story

2 Sep 2024

Hello friends

Ok..this September will be my 8th year riding in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids cancer. Once again I'll be spending the month riding at least 250 miles to raise $1000 or more for these brave kids who are fighting for their lives. Over the previous 7 years you've supported me in riding nearly 7000 miles and donating over $9400. You all are amazing!

So again, I'm asking for your continued support and generosity to raise $1000+ to help these unfortunate kids and their families. Together we can make this another amazing year. So please donate generously to help these courageous kids. Look for my Facebook fundraising post under my wife's Elaine Facebook page or go directly to my website -

www.greatcyclechallenge.com/Riders/JoeChester

All funds raised will support Children's Cancer Research Fund to continue their work to develop groundbreaking treatments and find a cure for childhood cancer.

Thank you for your support

Joe
