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.

“I am honored and surprised that you took the time to support this cause in the midst of your travels! Thanks so much!! I have enjoyed seeing pictures of your travels, even though I get hot and sweaty just viewing them! Whew! Today is about 67 degrees so far and that is more my kind of temperature! :)”

“Hey, Bob and Lisa! Thanks a bunch for your generous donation to the Children's Cancer Research Fund! I have just one day left of babysitting for this year, and you can bet I'll be out on my bike often, getting in shape for the September challenge! My calendar is filling up with all sorts of fun activities for the summer, and I hope that getting together with you two makes its way in there, too! I think of you more often than you can imagine, because I made a copy of the picture I took of you at the Candlelight Concert, meaning to send it your way, and it is on my desk where I see it all the time! LOL! Some things will never change....like my messy habits! Happy Summer! I will be in touch soon! :) And THANKS AGAIN!”

“Thank you, Linda! You are so generous! It seems odd to begin fundraising for the challenge, which takes place in September, but knowing that people are donating does spur me on to get out there NOW! I have only gone for a few rides this spring. I babysit M-F until 4pm and then work around the house and yard. Soon, though, I will not babysit until August. Rides will be a regular part of the week, then! :) Thanks, again!!”

“I agree! No one should have to go through this disease, Especially a child! I know, and have known, way too many people with cancer & many who have died. It is Horrible & I pray to God that children can be saved from this disease. May we someday find a cure, or at least a safer way than chemo & radiation to kill this disease. Thank you Jackie for helping!!! Karen Grace Strobach”
