My Story

19 Aug 2023

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.

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.

Hi Compassionate Donors,

I have some catching up to do after spending a third of this month catching my breath viewing the beauty of God's creation via Maine and Nova Scotia. Oh my goodness! It's been over forty years since I viewed that part of our continent and it's still ever much as lovely as I remember it. He also blessed us with gorgeous weather every day of our trip. Thank you God! If you can manage a visit there, do it! You won't be disappointed, especially if you are a nature enthusiast.

Being retired, I should still be in pretty good shape to make time to accomplish my goal of 125 miles. I should be in pretty good shape physically, as well - but that remains to be seen. I hope all of the cyclists participating are faring well, especially those residing in the heatwave states.

Thanks again to you good folks who have donated and to those who will follow up with a donation to show your compassion and passion, to help these poor stricken kids.

Sincerely,

Doug Clare
