My Story

31 Aug 2026

'Twas the day before my 9th Great Cycle Challenge, and Alice (my bike) and I are eager to get out on the roads and trails of Ottertail County pedaling to raise money for children's cancer research. Kids dealing with cancer have a much tougher battle than me. I'm just trying to pedal 400 miles and raise $500 during the month of September. If they can smile through it all, so can I. And I will try to remember that if/when I'm dealt inclement weather, lousy payment, or an aching shoulder. Let's ride!!

My Legacy

Here's my personal impact over 9 years to fight kids' cancer and save little lives.
