My Story

9 Jul 2025

This is my 5th year joining this challenge. I just feel compelled to help fund research for cancer, especially for children.

Rides start to count in September and I’ll be spending some time on a bike in preparation. I expect to increase my miles goal by the time the challenge begins. I might even double it again if there is another matching day.

Thanks for all the support for my 5th year in a row!

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.

Your support will change little lives.

Thank you.
