I'm Riding For
Maddie Savoie and Cam Russell
My Story
It's 2021. And we thought 2020 was tough. We thought normal was around the corner. Nothing's normal these days. Especially if you have a kid fighting cancer.
I know there's not a lot of extra money in everyone's pockets, but please help out and dig as deep as you can. Families suffering from cancer, especially kids, have a harder time than ever. It eats away at everyone.
I'm riding in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer. My beautiful niece Maddie died of cancer and the whole tragic fight absolutely sucked (sorry, I don't have a better vocabulary, but I missed my nap).
Over the last couple of years, I watched as Cam Russell fought a battle against cancer. And again, I watched as my friends Lisa and Lane had their hearts torn asunder as Lisa's beautiful, funny, original son lost his battle. It rips people apart. It rips families. It rips hearts.
And that's why I ride. Actually, that's why I beg. The riding is the easy part. It's the begging I need help with. And that's where you come in.
We can beat cancer, but we need to keep up the fight, and we need your help.
And my trusty sidekicks, B&B, are riding much of the way with me. Whether they like it or not.

Only 2 days left!
29 Sep 2021I want to thank everyone who has helped me raise this money. I couldn't do this Challenge every year without your support! We've literally smashed our goals, close to doubling last year's $11k+, and close to crushing the totals from all the years added together! It's a last push to get to $25k, but I'm hopeful you can all help me do it. If you can help spread the word I would really appreciate it. And if you are in a position you can add a little more to your donation I would honored and thrilled. The photo is this morning's Maine sunrise. I'm about to get on the bike and it's a chilly 50 degrees. But your support warms my heart, and a few quick turns of the crank will warm my legs. Thanks again for all your support! Ned
