My Story
This September, I am once again taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!
This is my 7th year supporting this cause. It's not an easy thing for me to do, but I believe it is well worth the effort!! With your help, I've managed to raise more than $12,000 (and counting!)
Why do this? 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. I've increased both my ride & fundraising goals this year to make this count!
Your support will change little lives.
Thank you for your support!!

Tales from the bike seat - GCC ride days 9 & 10
23 Sep 20262-FER!
I've been taking it easy and not riding too hard or too far...so far, so good (although I can tell the knees and I aren't on the same terms we used to be. Distinctive "It's not you, it's me..." kinda thing going on)
It's getting darker earlier every day now, thank you Autumnal Equinox. Doing my best to get back before it's too dark, but there's still bad moons rising. Good thing I have lights!
Once I overcome the mental block to get out and get on the bike, it is (mostly, can be) a relaxed, rewarding experience. From the gaggle of geese flying overhead, to the rafter/flock/posse of turkeys, to the buck that ran in front of me and paused on a hilltop in the last rays of sunlight, it helps to keep things in perspective. Yes, I tried to get a picture. Twice! Guess he was a little shy.
I passed the half-way mark in miles tonight - not great, but I have a plan! MOST IMPORTANTLY - I've exceeded my fundraising goals, thanks to all of you!!! Give yourselves a hand, you came through again this year, and I can't thank you enough!
Here's the graph plus some scenery.
