I'm Riding For

Mary Ann Bliss

My mom was a cancer survivor and I am a cancer survivor also. We both were teachers of young children. I cannot think of a more fitting tribute to my mom than the effort to save children from the scourge of cancer.

My Story

9 Sep 2026

Kids deserve to live their lives to the fullest, not fight for them.

Over the past decade each September, I've proudly ridden 3,619 miles and raised an incredible $15,529 to support the Children's Cancer Research Fund. This organization is doing vital work, developing lifesaving treatments and relentlessly searching for a cure for childhood cancer.

My commitment to this challenge runs deep, not just for the children I ride for, but also from my own personal experience. During these same 12 years, I've been battling cancer myself, having faced both prostate and bladder cancer. This personal journey has only strengthened my resolve to contribute to a world where no child has to endure such a fight.

Please, join me in supporting these brave children by making a donation. Your generosity will directly help fund critical research, giving these kids the brighter futures they so richly deserve.

Thank you for helping to change little lives.

My Challenge

Day 17 the big circle

17 Sep 2026

Rode a little over 10 miles today and tried a little diffrent route. I rode in a big circle and tried not to repete any of my route. Most of my rides I go one way for a while and then turn around and head back the way i came. Today I didn't. The only time I did was on the road into and out of Lake Chautauqua Park. And there only a short while because I found a walking and bike trail that ran slightly diffrent from the road leading into the park. I admit I did have to look up the pronunciation of the park. The park is located on the map where my ride vears off to the west at the lake.

Day 16

16 Sep 2026

10 mile ride today. It seemed like a great ride, cool with a little breeze made it in record time to my 5 mile mark. When I stopped I realized that the "breeze" was a strong wind. My ride home was a little slower.

Day 15

15 Sep 2026

Halfway through the month of September and I am more that halfway done with my riding challenge and with your help far surpassed my fundraising challenge. Todays ride was over 14 miles out onto the Causeway. I did stop at the palm tree that was struck by lightning and found that it had died.

Day 11

12 Sep 2026

Day 11, Early morning ride before a trip to Tallhassee. As you can see from my picture the sun was just coming up when I started my fide. Surprisingly there were quite a few people out that early walking and biking. I clocked a little over 10 miles this morning and in close to record time. It appeares that I'll moss my ride on satuarday being out of town but I sould be able to get back at it on Sunday.
