I'm Riding For
Finley Tyson Carter
On January 21,2021 Finley Tyson Carter gained his angel wings. This is my 6th year to ride in his memory. No child should spend more days in the hospital then they do at home. It isn't an easy thing for them or the family. Last year I rode in his memory while fighting pancreatic cancer. I wasn't able to ride my bike, but rode a Stationary bike and got my 100 miles in. This year I will try to ride again, while going through cancer again as it came back. I know Finley is with me every step of the way. These children are my hero. They endure so much and some never make it. So help me raise money for these children. If Finley were here, he would be riding a bike with me. I ride so more children can have that chance. Finley rides on my shoulder with me every year whispering in my ear. You can do this, don't give up. He is my encouragement as I ride when I get tired.
My Story
Last year I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in August . I rode not even 50 miles because of it. I am hoping to ride 100 miles this year. I know God has plans for me. I ride in memory of Finley Tyson Strong . No child should have to go through this . This last year I have experienced some of what these children go through. It hasn't been an easy year. I am still in treatment at this point. I pray God will give me strength to get stronger so that I can ride. We lose so many children to this disease. I am still riding for the kids, not me. Please consider sponsoring me this year by donating to this cause.

Cancer
9 Jan 2026This year I will attempt to ride 100 miles again while fighting cancer as it has came back. It brings me closer to these kids a I have an idea of what they go through. Last year was very hard, but I beat the pancreatic cancer. This year will be harder as I fight this again as it has come back. I am weaker this time, but determined to do this again.
