My Story

29 Jul 2024

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.

Joel

    “Many years ago, when I was a teenager, I had a friend. She was smart, talented, and had a great heart. On several occassions prior to moving to the US, I was coming to her home and she was never there. The night before my move I came to see her and finally she was home. I knew she had some issues but I was not aware what exactly. I had some more packing to do, but she asked me to stay overnight. She said "This might be the last time we see each other." I told her I will come back or she will come to the US, so I am sure we will meet again. She was almost in tears, so I stayed. Years have passed. I spoke to my FB friend who knew both of us -- we studied together from 1st to 8th grade. I started to ask questions about kids we knew. The time came to ask about my friend at the time. He told me that few months after I moved, she died. She had leukemia. I am donating not only to help save children, but also in her memory. I wish I could donate more.”
