My Story
This September, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!
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.
As you know, I have been fighting incurable, untreatable cancer for 3 years. The physical and mental pain I face every day sometimes brings me to my knees. I cannot fathom being a child and feeling this way, it tears my heart apart thinking that a poor innocent child has to live like this.
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.
Christopher

Moooo
11 Sep 2024Today was an uneventful day. I was a tad sore and so I started at the Freeport end of the Butler Freeport Trail.
It wasn't long til I regretted the warming leggins that I had cherished just yesterday.
Came across some wildlife (LoL) pictured here.
Oddly craved a burger after my ride.
Thanks for all of your generosity and contributions to date.

Challenging Day
10 Sep 2024What a beautiful day for a ride, what beautiful scenery and what a beautiful reason to ride, helping others.
I wanted to go a little easier today with little elevation so I headed to the Armstrong Trail and started in Ford City.
Along the way I ran into other people riding for the same reason, casual bikers, the Executive Director of the trail doing some trail checking, a beautiful grey fox and endless other wildlife.
I took a side trail to Buttermilk Falls, where I stopped to think about how blessed I am to be able to do this for the children.
7 miles from the car the wind picked up, forcing me to earn every turn of my pedal. My back was killing me but I finished with some help from above.
As my friend Indy says: Life is Good.
