I'm Riding For

Sandy Slomiany

Sandy Slomiany

I'm riding in memory of my mother-in-law, Sandy. She fought cancer for more than 14 years! I cannot imagine how difficult it was for her to endure all the physical and mental challenges. She was a fighter, and I am proud and honored to have been part of her life. We will miss her dearly. R.I.P. April 2019

My Story

27 Jun 2026

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.

Maria
