My Story

24 Aug 2024

This September I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer again! I'm doing this in honor of my older son Jack who died from leukemia as a baby. Last year I participated in this challenge for the first time and it was such a wonderful experience that I decided to do it again this year. Those who had the privilege to meet Jack know how much he has impacted all our lives despite his short time with us.

As many of you know I have been having a couple of health issues of my own the few months and at one point I wasn't going to participate in this year's ride. But I was reminded of all Jack had to endure during his treatments and my challenges seemed to pale in comparison so here we are.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.
