This September, I'm taking on the Great Cycle Challenge and committing to ride 400 miles to help fight childhood cancer.

Why? Because cancer is still the leading cause of death by disease among children in the United States. Every year, more than 15,700 children are diagnosed with cancer, and 38 children lose their lives every week.

While riding 400 miles will be a challenge, it is nothing compared to the battles these kids and their families face every day.

Kids should be living life, NOT fighting for it.

That's why I'm riding. Every mile is for the children undergoing treatment, for the families standing beside them, and for the researchers working tirelessly to find better treatments and ultimately a cure.

I'm asking for your support. Any donation, large or small, can make a difference.

Funds raised through the Great Cycle Challenge support the Children's Cancer Research Fund, helping to advance life-saving research and bring hope to families affected by childhood cancer.

If you're able, please consider making a donation and supporting my ride.

Together, we can help give kids the healthy, happy childhood they deserve.

Thank you for your support.
