I'm Riding For

Briella Wasmer

Briella Wasmer

2 years ago, Briella was diagnosed with B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. She and her family have gone through an awful lot since then BUT...Briella has been a real trooper through all of this and is responding well to her treatments which are scheduled to end on February 14, 2025, so the end is in sight! Briella will be both my INSPIRATION and MOTIVATION as I ride 500 miles in September!

My Story

21 Mar 2024

Last year (APRIL 10, 2023) I had my knee replaced so I had a later start than usual with my bicycling but, I was able to log 250 miles in August, 462 in September and over 300 miles in October.

This year I am getting a much earlier start in preparing my 71-year-old body to see if I can break 500 miles in 1 month to raise money for a great cause! In September I am once again 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.

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.

Here's my personal impact over 2 years to fight kids' cancer and save little lives.

  • Picture of Briella (and myself) TODAY!
    2 Sep 2024

    I logged in just under 30-miles on day1 of the GREAT CYCLE CHALLENGE!

    The HIGHLIGHT of the day, however, was to get this picture of Briella (the girl I'm riding for) and myself at a picnic in Oswald Park in St. Nazianz, Wi.

    She was amazingly full of energy, zipping around the apparatuses in the playground!

  • Children should THRIVE not fight to SURVIVE!
    30 Aug 2024

    I’m riding and rooting for Briella Wasmer. As I go through the pictures her mom shared with me, I realize just how hard some days have been for her over the last year and a half battling leukemia and the treatments she’s subjected to. I will be showing many of these pictures (happy and sad) over the next month!

    Children should THRIVE not fight to SURVIVE!
