I'm Riding For

Daina Wheeler

Daina Wheeler

We lost my stepdaughter Daina to cancer when she was only in her 20’s…. In 2023 I have had 2 close family members diagnosed. Cancer SUCKS. I ride in memory of Daina - cancer cheated her out of getting married, having children, growing old. But also for all of these beloved people, as well every child ever with that life threatening diagnosis and their parents. Please support this incredibly worthwhile cause. Thank you all very much.

My Story

26 Mar 2024

This September, I am for the 5th year taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer! I’m riding in memory of my stepdaughter Daina. But I’m also riding in support of two close family members diagnosed in 2023. But I also ride for every single child with cancer and the parents that love those babies.

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. Cancer SUCKS.

KIDS SHOULD BE LIVING LIFE NOT FIGHTING FOR IT!

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. And possibly someone you love.

Thank you.
