My Story

15 Aug 2024

Once again this September, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer! Year number seven for me!!

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.

My Legacy

Here's my personal impact over 7 years to fight kids' cancer and save little lives.

    It is looking like yesterday will be the last ride for me this month. The numbers are pretty good this year 826 miles in 24 rides over the course of 20 days. All miles outside on the roads, mostly in NJ but also managed to get to PA and MD for a few miles! I have to say the drivers in PA and MD were more respectful.

    It looks like I have a couple of milestones that can be reached next year during the Challenge, I hope that all my friends and family will support me again in 2025 for my eighth year!

    It's hard to not want to ride long when the weather is beautiful like it's been since the 1st here in NJ. I'll say that my legs felt like lead today but I am pretty sure I know why! 33 miles today to bring me up to 223 for the month. Planning on a longer ride tomorrow.

    Let's do this!
