I'm Riding For
Wilma J. Snyder (Stains)
This year's tribute is simple....riding to honor MOM!! Not because she died in December of 2021. Simply because of how she lived her life. A simple woman who loved her family and both of her sons dearly. Although cancer wasn't the primary cause of her death, she was a cancer survivor who struggled for over a decade with this deadly disease, enduring multiple procedures and treatments. She was a dedicated supporter of this cause; I could always count on her support each year. Knowing her own struggles, she could not bear to think of a young child enduring the same challenges that she did. This photo is from before her decline, it is how I choose to remember her.
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.
Jerry

Match Day Update
10 Sep 2026UPDATE from yesterday's match day in support of the Children's Cancer Research Fund thru the Great Cycle Challenge USA.
Admittedly, I was a little anxious yesterday placing a large bet on the FB algorithm to reach the people I needed to. I know my supporters AWAYS come thru for me in a BIG way. Yesterday was certainly no exception.
It was so much fun, watching the donations roll in all day long. With the first coming in just moments after I posted from my friends at Middleoftown Cycling all the way until 2330 last night with the last donation that qualified for the match from long time friend and supporter Bertha Stamper. A big thanks to the Blue Owl Crystals family that came in with an extremely generous donation that Jennifer Snyder helped facilitate.
All donations yesterday totaled over $1,250 from my supporters and the matching funds came in early this morning. Bringing our total contribution to over $2,300. In additional to this, brought our total contribution over the 9years that I have participated to $11,948!!! I can't express to you how much I appreciate your ongoing support of this cause. As you know, it is extremely important to me.
For those who may not have had an opportunity yesterday it is certainly not too late, as the window for contributions remains open until the end of October.
Sending my thanks and appreciate to those that have contributed to this year's campaign thus far: Aaron Rucker, Matt Baucum, Rod Roederer, Masterful Creations & More By Elisa , Michelle Smith Rodriguez, Nira Kinkhabwala, Beverly Hoffman, Cynthia Stone Jamar, Bertha Stamper, and Blue Owl Crystals .
