I'm Riding For

In honor of Jerry R. Day

In honor of Jerry R. Day

My father, Jerry Day, was diagnosed with cancer in May 2004 with only a 44 percent chance of survival. In January 2005, after months of treatment and struggle, he passed away in the hospital. Over the months between I watched my father waste away into a human skeleton, and everyone in the family suffered the sadness, helplessness, and loss while we did our best to stay strong and smile for him. One of the things I can never forget is how he'd try to hide his pain at times to make us take care of ourselves. I don't wish that loss, or that struggle, on any family or individual.

My Story

28 Sep 2020

Several years ago I lost my father to cancer. For as long as I can remember, near or far, I never worried about my father dying. At the time it seemed impossible, after all the worst I'd ever seen happen to him was a nose bleed. One May that all changed very suddenly, and less than a year later we were all saying a final goodbye. What I saw him go through I would never wish on anyone, much less a child and their family.

That is why this year, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer! 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.

I am raising funds through my challenge to support Children's Cancer Research Fund so they can continue their work developing treatments and someday a cure.

Please support me by making a donation to give these kids brighter futures.

Thank you.

    Due to some unrelated things I find myself on the last day with many miles to go. I will be knocking them out in several rides today, I will probably be very tired tomorrow. *laughs* Here's to the final day of 2024 GCC, and to all my fellow riders! Have a great final ride day!

    For anyone watching my ride logs, you likely would have noticed a large gap. Unfortunately due to some pain issues coupled with a couple busy weeks I had to take a bit over a week off. That said, still well on track to hit 100 miles.

    Thank you again to those who have sponsored me this year, every donation counts toward this worthy cause. Please enjoy another candid photo of my cat and one of his favorite sleep positions.

    4 Aug 2024

    Not September yet so still taking the rides easy. This week it's a goal of at least 4 days, with rides of 5 miles or more (on a stationary bike due both air quality and crazy drivers).

    Anyone reading this there is still plenty of time to join the event too. Ride for a good cause!

  • How it's going
    17 Jul 2024

    There are still weeks before the actual event starts so currently everything is fund raising and riding to get into the habit daily. This being the 6th year I have participated I am confident that I can meet my goal of 100 miles over the month of September, however I still prefer to warm my daily habit up beforehand.

    Normally I am worried about meeting my fund raising goal by the end, which I why I don't raise the target above $100. If I accede that goal I am very thankful in general. This year I am thankful because thanks to generousity the goal has already been met. I'll continue trying to fund raise in hopes of helping the cause as much as possible.

    On a very light note: One of my cats enjoys napping on bike seats. Tonight as soon as I got off the stationary bike he hopped up to claim it as a cat bed. Lol The included image is the cat in question on one of the cat trees.
