I'm Riding For

Kenny Rohrer

I’m incredibly proud to share that my cousin, Kenny Rohr, will have his pictures displayed on a Times Square billboard. This moment is not just a celebration of his courage, but also a powerful reminder of the fight against cancer. Kenny is currently battling prostate cancer, and through his journey, he exemplifies strength and resilience. This message is for everyone affected by cancer, especially children who face this challenge with unimaginable bravery. Let’s unite in support, spreading awareness and hope. God bless you, Kenny, and all those fighting this battle. Together, we can make a difference.

My Story

6 Jun 2026

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.

Thank you very very much

Great Cycle Challenge

6 Jun 2026

This is the kickoff so here we go!

Here’s an inspirational and motivational message based on your experience:

---

Today marks a significant milestone—10 years since I was severely injured in a car accident while participating in the Great Cycle Challenge. I am incredibly fortunate and grateful to be alive, and this experience has fueled my passion for making a difference.

Each year, I participate in this challenge to raise funds for children’s cancer research. This cause is close to my heart, and I invite you to join me in this mission. Our collective efforts can bring hope and healing to those who need it most.

This year, my goal is to raise $2,500. Together, we can push beyond our limits and create a brighter future for children battling cancer. Thank you for your support!

Donate to save kids!

6 Jun 2026

As I embark on my 12th year participating in the Great Cycle Challenge, I’m reminded of the journey that brought me here. Ten years ago today, I faced a life-changing moment when I was hit by a car during this very event. Thankfully, I’m alive and well, and I cherish every moment with my grandchildren, knowing they are safe.

This challenge is about more than just cycling; it’s about raising crucial funds for children’s cancer research. Every dollar we raise brings us closer to a world where children can grow up healthy and free from the grips of cancer.

I invite you to join me in this mission. Whether you’ve faced cancer personally or simply want to support the future of our children, your contribution can make a real impact. Together, we can help fund vital research that saves lives and provides hope to families in need.

Let’s unite for this cause, regardless of our backgrounds or circumstances. Children are our future, and they deserve every chance at a healthy life. Please consider supporting my ride and the incredible work being done for children’s cancer research.

Thank you for your kindness and support!
