My Story

16 Aug 2024

During September 2024, I will participate in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer. This will be my eighth year riding for this cause, which is near and dear to my heart.

Why am I doing this? Because cancer is the largest killer of children from disease in the United States. Over 15,700 children are diagnosed every year, and sadly, 38 pass away from cancer every week. Kids should be living life, not fighting for it!

This year, I am riding in continuing honor and support of eight-year-old Arya Olsen, who has been fighting a brain tumor since November 2022. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.

I will be pedaling for the entire month of September, and my goal is to ride 200 miles and raise $5,000 with this challenge to help children and support the Children's Cancer Research Fund. It will be challenging, but nothing compared to what these children face every day of their lives as they battle this terrible disease.

To achieve my goal, I need your support. Please join me in the fight against kids' cancer by donating at the fundraising link below or via the QR code:

All funds raised will support the Children's Cancer Research Fund to continue its work in developing innovative treatments and finding a cure for childhood cancer.

Thank you! Your support will help change these little lives!
