I'm Riding For

David and Owen

David and Owen

Cancer has personally struck my family. Each time I ride, I feel thankful that I can give to other's for a great cause. I find every mile I ride rewarding. My son is now 18, but at 5 years old was diagnosed with Juvenile polyps. After 9 surgeries before the age of 9 and many colonoscopy's he is cancer free and will continue to get screen every 3 years. My brother passed away of lung cancer, although an adult at the time, my rides are still inspired by him.

My Story

9 Aug 2023

This September, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer! This is my 6th year doing this ride to support the fight of kids cancer.

Why? Because right now, cancer is the biggest killer of children in the United States. Over 15,700 children are diagnosed every year, and sadly, 38 children die of cancer every week. My son, Owen is a cancer survivor. Without these donations, he wouldn't have had the opportunities and medications that he needed. I also lost my brother to cancer. Both my son and brother inspire me each year to give to others who are fighting.

Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.

I am raising funds through my challenge and my love to cycle 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.
