I'm Riding For
Rock Madden
Rock Madden lost a long and courageous fight with ALS in Dec 2023. Much like when I first was diagnosed with Stage 4 Melanoma, ALS had little chance for long term survival. Fortunately for me, Melanoma had many advancements through immunotherapy. While I both played trial participant as well as an eventual beneficiary of progress and faith, Rock was not as fortunate. But his spirit was unwavering. There are now things in the works that may provide hope for future people diagnosed with ALS. Let's beat ALS! Let's beat children's cancer! Rock was a huge supporter of mine though my cancer journey. Those that knew Rock were fortunate. He was a one of a kind. I will think of his loud bellowing voice and laugh as I ride this September. And Rock, I promise you this ..... I will be on the lookout for Sasquatch on all my rides. You were ever vigilant looking for the mysterious Squatch. With your guidance, hopefully I find him during one of my September rides.
My Story
This will be my 4th year participating in the September month-long Great Cycle Challenge. In the first 3 year's, I've been able to ride over 1400 miles and raise almost $27K. As a cancer survivor myself, it is an opportunity for me to give back doing something I enjoy. It is a way to honor those who supported me in so many ways throughout my cancer journey. Kids fighting their own battles, along with their families, need support too.

1 Week Complete
9 Sep 2024With over a week into the 2024 Great Cycle Challenge, I finally was able to get started on riding. Making 200 miles this September will be be difficult due to several factors, but I enjoy a good challenge. But the primary reason for the GCC is to raise money to fight children's cancer, and thanks to you we are again off to a great start. As of this moment, we are ranked 10th nationally in fundraising, and for that I thank all of you. When you read some of the children' profiles on the GCC, it feels great to do something positive to help them and their families in the fight. Tomorrow, Sep 10, is GCC's Kick Cancer's Butt Day, with all online donations matched by a group of generous donors up to $1.5 million. That is great to see such terrific support behind this spirited annual event!
