My Story

9 Aug 2025

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and I am biking in the Great Cycle Challenge to help raise funds to fight kids' cancer.

In September I will ride to honor all kids fighting cancer and especially those that had personally touched my life, Cindy Anderson, Kate Aarpano, and Nora Sellers, including adults Andrea Seaton and Jessica . Riding to create awareness and raise funds is the least I can do to love on these families and all children living with cancer.

Children's Cancer Research Fund is making success stories out of their work. You can read one of the stories here: https://childrenscancer.org/the-road-to-a-clinical-trial-for-childhood-brain-tumors/

Thank you.
