My Story

13 Jul 2025

Hello Everyone,

Hope you will support my ride this September. This is my fifth year riding for children's cancer. Taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer has been very rewarding! I have made many new friends and shared many experiences during my rides. Any other riders in the Vistancia area, let me know. We can do some of the miles together.

Please support me and others on our goals to support the Great Cycle Challenge in September.

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.

“Hello Lynn and Laslo. Thank you for supporting me every year. This is a great cause I feel very passionate about. I ride each year driven by the memories of the children and adults I know who had faced cancer and beat it. Even with the win, it takes a lot out of everyone, emotionally and physically. I count my blessings everyday I can do a small part to help. Much appreciated, David”
