My Story

2 Jul 2026

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.

“Thank you so much for donating . I enjoy being able to help with the Great cycle challenge. Unfortunately cancer is too close to all of us. Alot of my riding will probably be in the basement this year but hopefully I can get away on the weekends and get some good rides outside.”

“Thank you! This year I am thinking about all the people near me fighting cancer. Along with all the kids I don't know I am riding for Brandon S, Hannah, Halie, Joyce, my niece, Tiffany and also in honor of my niece, Ronda who passed away in May.”
