I'm Riding For

Wade Wiken

We lost our son, Wade, to cancer far too young. I'm riding and raising funds for kids with cancer in his name. During our time associated with CCRF, the doctor's research has resulted in significant advancements. Thank you!

My Story

Why I Ride – And Why I’m Asking for Your Help

This September, I’m riding in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight children’s cancer, the leading cause of disease-related death among kids in the United States. Every year, over 15,700 children are diagnosed, and thirty-eight die each week.

I ride in honor of our son Wade, who we lost to cancer on January 14, 2019. His tomorrows were taken from him far too soon.

So now, I will ride tomorrow.

Tomorrow is hope. Tomorrow is healing.

And for children still in the fight, tomorrow means everything.

I’m riding to raise $25,000 for the Children’s Cancer Research Fund, which helps develop lifesaving treatments and brings us closer to a cure. The money you give goes directly to funding breakthrough research, better therapies, and brighter futures.

I ride for kids who deserve more tomorrows.

Please help me reach my goal. Your donation, large or small, is a powerful act of love and hope.

Thank you. Your support will change little lives.
