My Story

15 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.

Would you join me in fighting for this great cause? Through the Great Cycling Challenge, my goal is to raise $1000 and to ride 100 miles in September 2023.

Thank you,

Herb
