Hi, friends. This September, I am riding in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer. My goal is to pedal 250 miles and raise $1,000 ... and my challenge starts NEXT MONTH.

Why am I doing this? Because cancer is the biggest killer of children from disease in the United States - 38 kids die every week.

Sophia Kappen was a bright, precocious, loving, funny and innocent 5-year-old when she was diagnosed with the 'easiest-to-cure' form of Leukemia. Cancer is EVIL, and way too soon, she was out of options.

Almost a year to the day after she was diagnosed, Sophia received her angel wings. I ride for Sophia and all the other children and families that suffer from this evil disease. Won't you consider supporting me?

Please support my challenge to end childhood cancer and save little lives by making a donation through my fundraising page:

Thank you and God Bless!
