My Story

5 Sep 2024

This September, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge again, after a couple year hiatus, to fight for the cure to kids' cancer! Having just gotten back into riding, I am keeping my mileage commitment low, but got the donations started with my own commitment and hope you will join me in raising $3 for every mile I have set as my riding goal to help this important cause. With all that is going on in the world it is important to remember that kids also should be out riding bikes, not in a hospital fighting a life-threatening illness. I hope you'll join me and give generously. Thanks in advance for your support.

Old but still truckin'

Murray

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, and every dollar helps and is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
