I'm Riding For

Makay James VanOort

Riding in honor of my son Makay, who lost his battle but NEVER gave up! He is a true hero.

My Story

13 Aug 2026

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

Why? Because our family knows the pain, 1st hand. We lost my son Makay 8 years ago after a tough battle with Lymphoma. Right now, 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.

Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.

So I am raising funds through my challenge 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.

Thank you.
