My Story

1 Jun 2025

I'm riding to fight kids' cancer! The month of September!

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 the 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.

11.0 mi ride - Hood fall ride - Saturday, October 4, 2025

The ending.

30 Sep 2025

A beautiful 80 degree fall, summery day. We rode from Ackley to Dorset and back. I had to split the ride since it quit tracking for some reason. So I got it done!

These kids deserve every mile and dollar I can give them. I’m sorry they can’t be out with me riding, but they are riding the road of courage and bravery to fight this disease. I honor them with every mile I ride.

Thank you for your support for these kiddos and for encouraging me with these donations. Without you, none of this would happen.

Thank you for being the joy!

What a beautiful day! It is summer and fall all wrapped up in one glorious day. After today's ride, I have 17 miles left to ride! I will have reached my goal of 200 miles!

My dream last year at this time was to ride up to Bemidji from here, and I also wanted to ride the trail up in Ely. Those things didn't pan out. I didn't know I would be directing a play at the same time. But I also know that the kids have dreams of their own as well, and it may be to ride a bike this summer, but this horrible disease took that dream away from them. Hopefully, they will be able to do that next summer.

Life throws us curves we don't expect, and we deal with them the best we can. I am lucky enough to say that the play has brought me joy, and the riding of the bike has enhanced that. Especially since I have raised money to fight kids' cancer. All thanks to you!

The day is beautiful. I hope you get out and enjoy it like I have.
