My Story

15 Feb 2024

This September, For the 6th consecutive year, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!

Come join me. You can ride, you can donate, you can cheer us on! Last year our team exceeded all goals and raised more money than ever!

We ride in memory of Beau Stanley our great nephew who died from cancer before reaching age 3. He would be a college freshman this fall but for 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.
