My Story

20 Aug 2024

Thanks for visiting my page!

I ride in the Great Cycle Challenge every September to support individuals and families dealing with cancer and to honor my mom, who I lost to ovarian cancer in 2012 after an 8 year battle. This year - my 6th Great Cycle Challenge - my goals are to mountain bike at least 800 miles and raise $1,000 for the Children’s Cancer Research Fund (a bit ambitious - gah!).

Any and all help (big or small) is VERY appreciated! Donations go directly to the Children's Cancer Research Fund and support the development of new and better treatments for childhood cancer.

Please spread this around (I don't have much in the way of social media so I could use the boost) and/or join in. And come riding with me!

Bikes are the BEST! And so are YOU!
