I'm Riding For
Tim Tilly
I am riding again in memory of my brother, Timmy Tilly. My brother died of age of 4 from leukemia. I will never find the right words to explain the pain my parents went through when they buried their first born. I can’t change the past but hopefully I can change the future. Please help me raise awareness of children cancer and support me in my ride. I would appreciate it if you would donate to Children Cancer Research Fund so a cure can be found to children cancers. Thank you for your support!
My Story
This September, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer! This will be my sixth year riding to kick children cancers butt!
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. Back in 1960, my brother, Timmy was one of those children who was diagnosed with cancer (leukemia) and he died in 1961 at the age of 4. The pain my parents went through of saying good-bye to their first child was so painful. I read in my mother's journal after she passed away, "The day Timmy passed away was the worst day of her life." It could have tore their marriage apart as it was as painful for my father. She wrote, "It brought them closer together."
That was in the 1960's, we are in 2024! Kids should be living life, not fighting for it. Research need to find a treatment for children and find a cure! Children Cancer Research is doing their part to help the children to give them a brighter future they deserve. I am trying to do my part even its small, but together we can make a difference.
Like I said in my statement, I only shared this on FaceBook because a friend asked me to as he wanted to donate to this cause. He believes in it for personal reason too.
Your support will change little lives.
Thank you.
