My Story

5 Sep 2023

This September 2023, I am again participating in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer! This is my fifth year of participating!

What initially started as a way to get me on my bike consistently has become a passion project for me. I love kids, and no kid, or person for that matter, should have to endure what various forms of cancer inflict on individuals and their families and loved ones. Finding the cure(s) is essential. Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.

So I am raising funds through my challenge to help these kids and support the 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.
