My Story

31 Aug 2026

This September, I am once again taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids’ cancer.

I ride because kids should be living life — playing, laughing, growing, and dreaming about their futures — not fighting for their lives.

Throughout September, I’ll be challenging myself to ride 710 miles while raising funds to support the Children’s Cancer Research Fund and its work to develop better treatments and find a cure for childhood cancer.

Every mile I ride will have a purpose.

I know 710 miles will be a challenge, but it’s nothing compared to the challenges faced every day by children battling cancer and the families who fight alongside them.

If you are able to support my ride with a donation, I would be incredibly grateful. Every dollar helps fund research and gives these kids hope for healthier, brighter futures.

Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.

This September, I ride for them. 🚴‍♂️💛

Thank you for your support!

Jeff
