My Story

5 Sep 2024

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, from Pete the Spokesman...

  • Gittin' there!
    11 Sep 2024

    Halfway there on the miles, hopefully not halfway to our final $$ total. The response has been incredible, but there can never be too much donated. The picture shows my friend Alan Davies and his son Bryce back in the 1980's. Bryce did not have cancer, but his father did - and he didn't beat it. Bryce is now a thriving artist in Wales, and the memories of his father are still strong with anyone who knew him. Alan - thanks for giving Bryce a good jump start in life. You will never be forgotten.

    Gittin' there!
