My Story
13 Sep 2026
This September marks my 8th year participating in the Great Cycle Challenge. I'm riding again because over 15,700 children are diagnosed with cancer every year, and sadly, 38 children die of cancer every week. Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.
The funds I raise help these kids and support Children's Cancer Research Fund, allowing them to continue their work to develop lifesaving treatments and find a cure for the scourge of 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!
