My Story

14 Jul 2025

This September, I’m riding in the Great Cycle Challenge to help beat kids’ cancer — and I’m doing it on all kinds of bikes - mountain, gravel, road. I love cycling in all its forms, and I’m channeling that passion toward a cause that truly matters.

Right now, cancer is the leading cause of death by disease among children in the U.S. Over 15,700 kids are diagnosed every year, and 38 die each week. That’s heartbreaking — and unacceptable.

I’m raising funds to support the Children’s Cancer Research Fund as they work to develop better treatments and, ultimately, find a cure. Every mile I ride and every dollar you give helps make that future more possible.

Please consider donating. Together, we can give these kids the chance to grow up, dream big, and ride their own bikes someday — cancer-free.

Your support will change little lives.

Thank you,

Richard
