My Story

29 Aug 2026

🚴‍♀️ 700 Miles. One Gear (mostly). One Big Mission. ❣️

This September, I’m clipping in for something much bigger than a bike ride.

I’m riding in the Great Cycle Challenge and I'm doing it to fight kids’ cancer. 💛

Here’s the heartbreaking truth - every year, more than 15,700 children are diagnosed with cancer. That’s 38 kids who lose their lives every single week. Kids who should be starting school, playing outside, driving their parents crazy in the very best ways — not fighting for their lives.

That’s why I ride.

This is my 5th year — with my boldest goal yet.

I’m committing to pedaling 700 miles in September and the majority of those miles will be on my single-speed Fyxation bike. No gears. No shortcuts. Just grit, sweat, and a whole lot of purpose.

Why a single-speed? Because kids battling cancer don’t get an easy gear either. They show up every single day and fight with everything they have. The least I can do is earn every mile.

Your donation = real hope for real kids.

Every dollar you give goes directly to the Children’s Cancer Research Fund, fueling lifesaving research that is developing safer treatments, better outcomes and — one day — a cure. Together, GCC riders across the country have already ridden more than 35 million miles and raised over $80 million. Every. Dollar. Counts.

Please donate to this cause. No gift is too small. Whether it’s $5 or $500, you’re helping give a child a fighting chance and a family a reason to hope. 🙏

Thank you from the very bottom of my heart.

XOXO 💛💙🩵 (these are the colors of my very awesome bike! 😉)

P.S. Want to join me for a ride this September? The more the merrier! 🚴‍♀️😊❤️
