My Story

14 Sep 2024

This September, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer in honor of my son Cooper who is battling a rare form of soft tissue cancer called epithelioid sarcoma. Cooper is hardly a kid at 26, but he's my kid and I'm so proud of how he's handling his fight.

I'm also riding for and supporting my mom, Joan Link, who already beat breast cancer years ago, and now is battling bladder cancer.

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.
