This year is different for me. I recently lost my father, and though it wasn't to cancer (he battled skin cancer for years), he was still an advocate for young people and doing the right thing. He taught me to push myself, in spite of setbacks and desire to give up. So I am going to push myself to ride harder and farther this year. He loved my siblings and I, as well as our kids, immensely and gave what he could constantly.

In honor of him, please consider donating, because kids should be living happy lives free from worry. They should be learning to work with their peers and growing in all ways possible, not fighting for their lives and getting improper treatment. Your help will go a long way.

Thank you!
