William J. Brundzo

William J. Brundzo

This ride is a tribute to my Dad, Brunz~he lost his fight to Pancreatic Cancer 3/29/2020, but he never quit smiling. I’m taking this challenge for you Dad, you were always coaching kids to play a great game like your life depends on it, take a chance with no fear & know your field position, be a good team mate & enjoy yourself no matter what. Live for today for a better tomorrow. Be the game changer, Vic. So I take this challenge with the hope &desire to change the future of Children’s Cancer with my team of supportive fabulous folks. My goal is to fight for these tiny fierce warriors &wake up one day & Cancer will not be a challenge kids have to face or experience. Brunz taught me to be the motivator & to never give up trying to accomplish my goals & help people achieve their goals as well while always giving “110% best you can be” &stay in the moment, focus on the people that need you most & love the most & celebrate that victory moment with a fighting spirit & be grateful for the challenge. Dad’s VIM & VIGOR was always stellar. Dad~you had that good vibe motivation during your warrior journey & it pushed me in gear to play my best game of life to seek out a group who needed my efforts to give back~today I can make a difference to give it “my all” to cycle great for these warrior kids now & for their healthy tomorrow’s. No doubt you will be with me Dad, every mile I ride for these kiddos. I know you will be the wind at my wheels, so let’s Rock&ROLL{my Dad always said that}to kick Cancer’s butt. .peace.

My Story

25 Jul 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 in a huge way.

Thank you.

I am so grateful for your support Darlin I know this challenge will not bring my Dad back but it brings me to the point of knowing we can help & hope for the cure for future warrior kiddos battling & they can have chance to ride their bikes too. The money is tight this season & our electric bills are sky high but the fact that you are giving back is sooo Rad to my heart & soul. These kiddos are in my wheelhouse my Babes. It’s simple & it’s hard but I’m going to ride like hell to give them a chance at not seeing HEAVEN anytime soon! I ride & pray & fight for them! I appreciate that you are fighting with me too! I am ready to rock & roll haha IN the 1000 degree heat no doubt! Pray for a cool front! Cuz u r super cool. Saddle up🦋💫🧡💫/🇺🇸Let’s Go! xoxoxoxetc.”
