I'm Riding For

Lost loved ones and those who are bravely fighting

I lost my Mom in early 2024 to pancreatic cancer. I spent countless childhood hours with my parents riding around the countryside of Ohio on my bike. She was such a huge supporter of me in this challenge when I started a few years ago. Mom, these rides are for you. And, I ride for other lost loved ones and those who are bravely fighting it.

My Story

1 Sep 2025

2025:

More people I love have been lost and more are bravely fighting this disease. It is hard enough as it is to see so many go through this. I can't imagine going through this with a child, and why I am riding again this year. I can help others while doing what I love. <3

2024:

My lifelong #1 supporter, my Mom, passed to the dreaded disease, pancreatic cancer. The challenge hit differently. Grief does crazy things to the mind and body, but my Mom always said I do what I put my mind to. It was so worth it to change those little lives. Year #3 tallied up to 150 miles and $2,743 raised - so grateful!

2023:

I'm always so excited to help others while doing what I love, staying active and trying to be a good role model for my little one. I was so humbled by the support last year and touched by each and every bit of encouragement and donation received. I exceeded my mileage and fundraising goals. My goals were 100 miles and $500 but I hit 140 miles and $2,745, thanks to the all the amazing support!

2022 and YOY Recap :

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. I currently have riding and fundraising goals (started Year #1 at 75 miles and $150). Every year, fundraising intimidates me and I'm hoping my knees cooperate. If all goes well, I increase those goals so stay tuned and join me on my journey!

Your support will change little lives.

Thank you.
