My Story

8 Sep 2024

This September, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!

Why? One of my children had cancer at age 3 1/2 and I we went to Give Kids the World and were sponsored by Make-A-Wish and the Starlight Foundation. Kids cancer is real and it takes the life of the most innocent among us.

Every mile ridden, every dollar raised, and every acknowledgement from supporters means we are that much closer to the ultimate goal of defeating childhood cancer. Nothing will stop us because our children are life.

So I am raising funds to support Children's Cancer Research Fund to allow them to continue their work to find a cure for childhood cancer.

Please support me by making a donation to give these kids the futures they deserve.

My love to you all for your assistance and support.

Thank you.
