My Story
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.
I pledge to ride at least 188 miles; 50 road bike, 88 mountain bike and 50 unicycle!
Thank you.

Road Bike miles complete!!
29 Sep 2024Rode to work for the longest continuous ride I’ve taken at 80 miles! Really happy that I completed a quest I’ve had since working here.
Although these were bonus miles, these were equally as important to me as all the other miles. Not falling short like last year. Although it was a tough year of recovery, I am thankful to be able to participate for this cause! Thanks again GCC!

MTB miles complete!
27 Sep 2024After last year’s mountain bike debacle, I am grateful to be able to participate this year! Doing it for these kiddos and myself.
There were months that I questioned ever getting on the trails again, limiting my risk, uncertain if my wrist would hold up.
Well, I challenged myself a few times before this event to prove I could still do it. Then, chose to make my goal mountain bike miles specifically on mtb trails.
Determination took me here and I am grateful to uphold my goal! Thank you kiddos, this fundraiser helped me too!

Lunchtime Dog Park ride
25 Sep 2024I’ve worked in this location for almost three years and finally decided to check out the dog park with the border collies! Finn, appearing as majestic as always while being inspected by the group. Valeska, right for the butt…two very different personalities!

13th Unicycle Ride-Border collies Finn and Valeska
24 Sep 2024Rode around my parents block before dinner with the border collies Finn and Valeska. It’s nice riding on a dirt section with minimal traffic so the beasties can be off leash.

1 year anniversary
17 Sep 2024It’s been 1 year to the day since I crashed mountain biking at Big Bear in California resulting in reconstructive surgery on my wrist. Dr Haase did a great job putting me back together in what was described as “this is the worst thing you could do to your wrist short of…” that sentence was left open ended.
Well, I celebrated that by logging 19 miles of biking at DTE today! Had a chuckle on the way there once I realized today was the day AND I was wearing the same pants and shirt as last year crash!! Haha, tempting fate!! The ride went smoothly and I recognized when small mistakes were adding up and dialed it back responsibly.
It was a great day!

Midnight Torch Run
14 Sep 2024Was invited to participate in the midnight Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics. Started at the Michigan Capitol building steps and ended five miles away in East Lansing. Rode the distance on the unicycle in 50 minutes. Was fun to combine the two charitable events!

14 Sep 2024Wow, what an alien experience! Pivoting your legs while turning the handlebars and keeping the butt in place was a very foreign feeling. Thank you Dave Skidmore for the wonderful opportunity!
