My Story

7 Jun 2023

My birthday is in two weeks. Rather than post a birthday fundraiser, I encourage anyone, who might have supported a birthday charity fundraiser in my honor, to support me in the Great Cycle Challenge, which takes place in September.

This Is the fifth year that I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer! Even though the challenge will happen in September, fundraising begins now. None of my summer miles count, but September is truly a challenge for me. I will, again, be babysitting full time by then and will need to be motivated to ride each evening!

I currently know of seven people in my life who are fighting cancer! I lost my sister-in-law to cancer last year, and she was one of my biggest supporters in this cause, because she emphatically stated, "No one should have to go through this, especially a child!"

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 this effort by sponsoring me.

My Legacy

Here's my personal impact over 6 years to fight kids' cancer and save little lives.

    “Aww! Thank you!! I appreciate your support, Bob & Lisa! This is also a spirit booster today (I'm just seeing this Saturday) as my friend, Maggie, is not doing well. I ended up helping take her down to the Cancer Treatment Facility last night, after a particularly horrific day. She was doing much better after IV fluids and a unit of blood, but they are keeping her there for observation, since her fever spiked overnight. I am soaking up all the positive vibes I can today, so thank you for getting me started with a booster! Now the guys are here to put up my gazebo, which is another positive. I will have to have you guys over again, soon, so you can see the next phase of Jackie's Outside Room! :)”

    “LINDY!! Thank you!! I am looking forward to this challenge. My summer has not seen me on my bike quite as much as past summers. I have been extremely busy, but it was full of working on my deck and yard, visiting with family and friends, visiting museums and gardens....lots of fun stuff. Now it is time to put on the miles!! I love that what keeps me going, hopefully keeps a lot of children going, too! I simply cannot imagine what it's like to watch a child battle cancer! It's hard enough to watch adult friends and family have to do this! Bless your generous heart, Lindy! I hope you are doing well. I always love seeing your pictures. Keep up the fabulous photography! It brings joy to many of us! :) Jackie”

I know so many adults who are battling cancer or who have gone through the fight...some winning and some not. I am so glad that I do not know any child who has to go through it. The stories are heart-wrenching, even when you don't know them personally. Thanks for supporting the research and helping me focus on getting my 200 miles in! I really appreciate it!!”

More importantly, you have helped with the Children's Cancer Research Fund. Cancer is so prevalent in our society now! It's bad enough that so many adults are fighting for their lives. Seeing children live this nightmare makes my heart heavy. Thank you for supporting this cause, and for supporting me in my challenge! I really appreciate it!”
