Julia Jean Beard
Remembering each beautiful moment, cherishing her short time on Earth and knowing our angel is always with us, gets me through each day missing my great niece. Never understanding why but trusting that we will be together again. Her memory lives on.
My Story
This September, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!
Why? Because 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.

Coffee break
12 Sep 2024Feeling super grateful my friends for all the donations that have come in! Tuesday was amazing 🤩 Can I say … thank you for each and every one of you that donated, believe in me and this mission… understand the importance of helping these children stricken with a cancer diagnosis and yet they smile and do all they can to show love and kindness. They truly show us all their resilience and determination that they can make an impact on all of us. They deserve love and support.
We did it! We achieved my goal even over 1K already! Now, sit back and cheer me on. Donate more for those who haven’t it will continue to help, I know first hand working with Wigs for Kids just how the kids need us. In memory of my great niece Julia and my little 7yr old guest, Dalhia I ride.
This is quite a challenge for me, my bad knees but I won’t give up!
Thank you once again…
I love yas! ❤️🚴🤞🏻🌟😁🙏🏻🎊

The sneaks are made for spinning
1 Sep 2024As dusty as my Peloton bike was, and as white as the sneakers are today, all got used and dusted off.
😁 Hooray 🚴
Finally, my first ride in the books 📕 and we rode for 30 incredibly daunting minutes but ai know it will ❤️🩹 better. Maybe a bit easier. I’m simultaneously doing another challenge that requires 72 miles in the month and her I’m doing 100….so should make both happen. The other is for Eager to Run and we can bike or step. It’s also for suicide awareness. Another reason for me to help. That hit our family hard and for years it was always so difficult to even spell the word. But today, I DID IT. 🚴💜🫶🏻💪🏻 and we have to drink 72oz of water 💦 that is hard. Working on that now. 50 oz down.
Please, cheer me on folks. These challenges will hopefully get me to where I need to be. Healthier and more resilient.
I love you 💕 Let’s keep going.

Today is the big day to start riding.
1 Sep 2024This pic of Julia inspires me to start this challenge… for her memory for her braveness, for her love and for her strength.
I’m a bit challenged myself this year to be honest but in year 9 serving these children affected with such a devastating disease such as cancer I think to myself… even through my old crickety knees and joints I can try to move past and get on the bike alittle each day I can and ride. I’m asking for your support in whatever way you can. Please read my story, browse thru my page… share yesss please spread the word. Join my team to help me get in the goal of 100 miles and donate if you can. I know times are tough but so is cancer.
I am in for it, in to win, in to spread awareness and in to receive love and support and share with the kids who need it too.
Watch me 🚴
I love ❤️ you all.
