My Story

22 Aug 2026

It’s me again… and YES, I’m doing this thing again! 🚴‍♀️🧡

This year marks my 4th Great Cycle Challenge, riding and raising money to help fight childhood cancer.

Why do I keep coming back?

Because kids shouldn’t have to fight for their lives.

They should get to be kids—running, playing, going to school, riding bikes, making friends, driving their parents crazy, and dreaming about what they want to be when they grow up.

Sadly, thousands of children in the United States are diagnosed with cancer every year. Behind every one of those numbers is a child and a family whose world has been turned upside down.

That’s why I keep riding.

With the incredible support of friends, family and our community, here’s what we’ve accomplished so far:

2021 — 267 miles | $5,884 raised

2024 — 362 miles | $5,480 raised

2025 — 467 miles | $5,770 raised

That’s 1,097 miles ridden and $17,186 raised to help fight kids’ cancer. ❤️

And now it’s time to add to that number!

For 2026, I’ve committed to riding another 100 miles and raising $3,000.

The funds raised through the Great Cycle Challenge support Children’s Cancer Research Fund and their work to develop better, lifesaving treatments and ultimately find a cure for childhood cancer.

Every mile I ride and every dollar donated represents a little more hope for these kids and their families—and a future where fewer children have to face this disease.

So here we go again! 🚴‍♀️

If you would to support my ride this year, I would be incredibly grateful. Whether it’s $10, $25, $50—or simply sharing my challenge with someone else—it all adds up.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me, encouraged me, donated, and followed along over the years. You’re a big part of why I keep coming back. 🧡

100 more miles. One really important reason. Let’s give kids more time to simply be kids.
