I'm Riding For

Aubrey Ward & Kevin Rotondo

Aubrey Ward & Kevin Rotondo

Aubrey and Kevin are both fighting Brain Cancer right now. I am riding for my 10th year in the hopes that they will beat Cancer and that all of children's cancers will be defeated. Please pray for them and donate if you possibly can.

My Story

31 Aug 2026

For the month of September I am taking part again in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer! This is my 10th YEAR in this cycle Challenge.

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.

A young girl, Aubrey Ward is only 6. She has a very aggressive form of Brain Cancer. She is a beautiful girl who I have had the pleasure of teaching swimming lessons. She is in a clinical trial at Stanford fighting to live. My nephew Kevin who is not a child anymore but I still see him as a young boy is also fighting a form of Brain Cancer.

So I am raising funds through my 300 mile challenge to help 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 futures they deserve.

Your support will change little lives. Please also pray for Aubrey, Kevin and all those fight Cancer.

Thank you.
