My Story
12 Aug 2021
This September, I am taking part in my fourth Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer! This is my fourth Summer of Healing, my way to express gratitude for the support I received when I broke my back. This year I am dedicating the ride to Owen Hey and Audrey Bartholomew. A small way to support my friends and their families in their battle.
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. I have lost friends and family to cancer and people I love are battling it now.
Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.
So I am raising funds 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.
