My Story

5 Aug 2026

Hello, friends! 👋🏾

I hope you're all enjoying an amazing summer!

I'm excited to be back for my 6th year riding in the Great Cycle Challenge to help kids fight cancer.

Every September, I choose to ride because I believe every child deserves the chance to grow up healthy, dream big, and simply be a kid. Cancer doesn't get to choose its victims, but together, we can choose to make a difference.

Last year, many of you helped me raise nearly $5,000 during my final AIDS/LifeCycle ride, and I'll never forget your generosity. This year, I'm once again chasing miles with purpose, supporting kids fighting cancer through the Great Cycle Challenge and later riding the California Coast Classic Bike Tour benefiting the Arthritis Foundation.

Every mile I ride is dedicated to hope, courage, and the belief that together we can create meaningful change.

Whether you donate, share my page, or cheer me on from the sidelines, thank you for being part of this journey. Your support means more than you know.

Let's ride for the kids. 🚴💛

With gratitude,

Vanessa Ross

P.S. If we reach our fundraising goal, we just might make it back onto the Times Square Jumbotron in New York for the fourth consecutive year. Let's make it happen together! 🗽🚴

Happy to ride this afternoon! ☀️ 🚴🏽‍♀️ 😎

Weather in San Francisco was 75!

Thrilled to be part of this great community to help kids fight cancer. I raised my fundraising goal three weeks ago. I could not do this without your support and belief in me!

Continue to follow my progress this month of September for all of the adventures I have yet to explore!

Thank you!

Vanessa 🚴🏽‍♀️ 😎✨
