I'm Riding For

Stella Waltemire

Stella Waltemire

March 30th, 2023. On this day, Stella received her last lumbar puncture and IV chemo! Love her shirt "FINAL SPINAL!" This little warrior battled her way through 800 days of treatments for leukemia! God bless you Stella!

My Story

11 Jul 2023

This September, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!

I will be riding in The Great Cycle Challenge in honor of 4 year old Stella Waltemire. Stella was diagnosed with standard risk B cell ALL (acute lymphocytic leukemia) on 3/1/2021! Thank God that Stella was blessed and after 800 days on the nose, Stella took her final chemo treatment on May 11th, 2023! She is not technically declared cancer free until 5 years after her final treatment. At that point she’ll start survivorship clinic (she’ll still follow with hematology/oncology checkups until that point). I believe they continue to follow her until she turns 18. We have a lot more work to do! I am asking if anyone out there can help by donating to the Childhood Cancer Research Fund! Thanks in advanced to all that have helped me the past 4 years! God Bless! Your donation funds cancer research and comes up with less awful, toxic, drugs to treat this rotten disease! We will do anything in our power to help bring that change to fruition. I am here to do my part to raise money for childhood cancer research and I hope my friends and family will donate so we can help find a cure for Stella and so many other children fighting cancer like her! Thank You!

I have no idea of what you have felt and dealt with over the last 3 years, I am just glad things have worked out! Grandmothers are many things: a friend, a storyteller, and a quick wit who can get away with saying anything she pleases. A source of wisdom, a confidant, and someone who will give it to you straight. She loves beyond faults, to a fault. Thanks again!”

    “Behind every successful man there stands a woman. In this case, this old is more true than people know! The intention of the saying is not so much to make a factual observation, but to acknowledge the support that normally remains behind the scenes. Thank you Lynda for the lunches you pack, the help in getting on the road and the hot dinners when I get back from one of my riding adventures! Your support allows me the opportunity to do fundraising for The Great Cycling Challenge. Without out it - I would not be as successful!”
