I'm Riding For
my son Sean Strother

My Story
In June 2022, I lost my son Sean Strother to glioblastoma brain cancer. Sean participated in the Great Cycle Challenge initiative during 2020 and 2021 following his diagnosis. Even in the midst of his own medical journey, Sean was committed to helping save children's lives by riding his bike over 500 miles and raising over $14,000 to help end childhood cancer. To carry on his legacy, I will ride 60 miles to honor Sean and help a cause close to his heart and mine.
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.
Unique this year is that all funds raised through my site and the Sean Scott Strother Family & Friends team will stay local, supporting cancer research at UH Rainbow Babies & Children Center for Pediatric Immunotherapy.
Please support me by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve. Your support will change little lives.
Wish me luck. This year will be my second one riding a bike!
Sean and his family would like to especially thank BMC for all the love and support provided us over the last few years of Sean's successful career and medical journey.
Join us on Sunday, September 17th for an 8.8 mile ride in memory of Sean. See details below. Hope to see you there.
Thank you.
