My Story

16 Jul 2023

This September, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer! Im doing this in honor of my older son Jack who died from leukemia as a baby. Those who had the privilege to meet Jack know how much he has impacted all our lives. I haven’t done anything to outwardly honor him in a while so this will be a great opportunity for me as well. Im upping my cycling goal from 750 miles to 1,000 miles for the month of September as part of this challenge.

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.
