I'm Riding For

Jim Cheman, Dave Saj, Albert Attea, Jimmy Conwall

My GACC journey started as a way to support my brother-in-law David in his fight against Multiple Myeloma (MM). David passed away in late 2016. When Dave could no longer safely ride his bicycle, he gave it to me and only asked that I "use it as much as you can"... So, I'm doing that now to fundraise for children's cancer research. Dave used to pray often for children with cancer and so I can honor that memory by helping to prevent children from experiencing cancer. That is my goal here... and I'm doing it the best I can, by pedaling the bike Dave gave me and raising money for GCCUSA.

My Story

18 Jun 2024

In September 2024 I will once again take part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer... Why? Because cancer is the biggest killer of children from disease in the US. Sadly, over 15,000 children are diagnosed every year. Please support my ride by making a donation to GACC. Your support will change young lives. Thank you.

Here's my personal impact over 9 years to fight kids' cancer and save little lives.

Friendship Trail Ride

2 Sep 2024

I asked my friend Scott if he would move up the timing of our annual ride on the Friendship Trail to early September (he agreed, and thankfully it worked with his busy schedule). This way our annual tradition would coincide with the kick-off of my Great Cycle Challenge for September 2024. Please consider sponsoring me as I ride 200 miles to raise $500 for this worthwhile charity.

August 2024

30 Jul 2024

August is traditionally the month where I spend a little more time on the bicycle, trying to toughen up my backside and build up to higher miles, in an effort to be ready for my September GCCUSA distance challenge.

I linked this account to my fitness-tracking app so that my supporters can follow along with any rides that I do, but I'm not sure if the app will track my rides prior to September 1st... we'll find out!
