I'm Riding For

Renee Petras

I’m riding for my niece Renee. She’s gone through a personal battle with cancer this year- that has been both scary for her and her family. Thankfully, she is in a good place at the present time. Cancer touches all of our lives. We all know someone who suffers from it, if not ourselves. I’ve been involved with the Great Cycle Challenge for 11 years and will continue to support this cause.

My Story

18 Jul 2025

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 very very much

“Phil you are an inspiration. I see what you have done in this space and it amazes me. You amaze me. You can do it again. 800 miles is little more than a warm up for you. Age is just a number. Never, Never NEVER give Up! Plus you are smokin' hot in those tight shorts.”
