Larry Murphy

Always riding in my Dads memory. This year I don’t have anyone fighting currently so I’m riding in memory of my past ride dedications. Larry Murphy , Annie Murphy, Dan Kitchen and Mitch Immink.

My Story

28 Jul 2024

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 , and every year sadly, 38 children die of cancer every week.

My hope is that if we find a cure early for kids that maybe we can keep this at bay for adults and everyone!

Everyone should be living life, not fighting for it.

Your support will change little lives.

Thank you.

Here's my personal impact over 8 years to fight kids' cancer and save little lives.
