My Story

6 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.

Here's my personal impact over 2 years to fight kids' cancer and save little lives.

  • Today- Day 2 of week 2
    10 Sep 2024

    Great ride this morning as the air was crispbut warmed up as I went along. A deer decided she wanted to run along side of me for a brief moment - which got my full attention😁 we managed to part ways with her taking the lead😬 lol.

    Hope to see some donors take advantage of “Double Tuesday” which means every dollar you donate- it is matched by GCC👏

    Today was a great day for a ride. I challenged myself to a new daily ride record this year and made it happen despite the steady north head wind.💪🇺🇸

    Today was a cool day and the ride was great. I am ready to crush this challenge and who knows- maybe go beyond my pledge by a few extra miles.

    I will keep posting here my progress and updates throughout my rides.

    This all is for a wonderful cause and inspiring to me to keep moving on!

  • Year Two and Ready To Go
    31 Aug 2024

    Last year was a challenge mentally and physically as I was getting familiar with my new road bike.

    This year I am ready to go as I trained over the winter and have been riding 40 miles per week average for the last 3 months.

    Excited for the journey and challenge donors to help me reach my goal of $500. This is a great opportunity to contribute to the GCC fight against kids cancer. Let the riding begin in two days and see where we end up.

    Last year - 202 miles

    This year - 215?😁
