I'm Riding For

Douglas' family and for my friends

I have seen first hand the devastating impact of losing a child to cancer. My husband's brother lost his 16 yo daughter of ovarian cancer. I also have friends who have lost their child to brain cancer as a toddler and another to cancer as a young child. Please donate to support research to prevent and treat childhood cancer. Thank you

My Story

8 Aug 2025

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.

And I know personally three people who have lost their children to cancer. And that really hurts.

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.

Thank you.

p.s. I am doing this for my husband and for his brother who lost his daughter Heather at age 16 to ovarian cancer.
