My Story
The goal was $500 and we reached that in less than a day! Let’s go for $5000.
This September, my goal is to ride at least 150 miles throughout the month to help fight kids’ cancer through the Great Cycle Challenge. I don’t know any kids with cancer personally, but I want to do my part to help make a difference.
Childhood cancer is tough, and the more we raise, the better the chances for kids to get the treatments and support they need. Every mile I ride and every dollar raised goes toward helping kids and their families.
I’m also hoping to find at least one generous donor who will match $1 for every mile I ride—if anyone agrees, I will push to double the miles to 300. I work full time and have three kids under ten at home, this won’t be easy. lol.
If you want to support this cause, I’d really appreciate any donation, or just join me on a ride. You can track my progress daily starting September 1st. I don’t even have a road bike, I’m doing this on a mountain bike. Ha!
Thanks for being part of this with me!

Tribute Day
20 Aug 2025Next month, I am riding 150 miles in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!
Because right now, 15,000 children are diagnosed with cancer every year in the United States, and 38 kids die every week.
My challenge will be tough, but it's nothing compared to what these brave kids and their families face every day of their lives as they battle this terrible disease.
Kids should be living life, NOT fighting for it.
Please support my challenge to end childhood cancer and save little lives by making a donation through my fundraising page:
