I'm Riding For
Jim Cunningham
Jim fought a long, brave battle against this terrible disease. Through it all he remained an ardent supporter of the Great Cycle Challenge, riding for the kids and encouraging others to do the same. I miss my dear friend and ride every mile in his memory.
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.
Thank you.

Jeff's Journey Great Cycle Challenge 2024
31 Aug 2024This will be the fourth year I've participated in the Hreat Cycle Challenge (GCC). I do it for three reasons.
1) Selfishly- I had a malignant tumor removed in 1981. To me, I wasn't a child, but I benefited from well trained dedicated cancer specialists. Without research, I might not be here.
2) My friend and hero, Jim Cunningham started riding in this program over a decade ago, while fighting cancer himself. I joined his team: Team Honeylamb. Unfortunately Jim succumbed to this evil disease a couple of years ago.
3) For the kids. Children aren't supposed to get sick. They should not have to fight a life or death battle before going to college.
I fight because I can and I want to help. Anyway I can.
