Kylie’s resilience and determination is why I ride.

Meet Kylie

10-year-old Kylie has been battling alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma for the last four and a half years...

She was diagnosed in February 2022 after weeks of symptoms including fatigue and extreme hip and leg pain that affected her ability to walk. 💔

Kylie immediately started intensive treatment, which initially involved

30 x weeks of chemotherapy and 7 x weeks of radiation.

She spent over 100 days in hospital.

Kylie finished her frontline treatment, completed maintenance chemotherapy, and rang the bell in November 2023.

Unfortunately, that was far from the end of her cancer journey.

She had 14 months off treatment and life pretty much returned to normal, with the occasional routine check-up thrown in.

Kylie even signed up for GCC herself to help other kids with cancer, because that's just the type of kid she is. ⭐

Sadly, Kylie relapsed in January 2025, and she went right back into intensive treatment.

She completed 8 x cycles of chemotherapy and transitioned to a clinical trial, before relapsing again in December 2025.

Following her second relapse, Kylie started a new treatment plan... but with how much her body has been through, her care team did not see the results that they hoped for.

After exploring all possible options and consulting extensively with Kylie's team, her parents have made the heavy decision to stop aggressive treatment.

Now, the focus of her family is to give her the best possible quality of life. They're filling Kylie's days with "as much joy, laughter, family time, friendship, and adventure as possible." ❤️

Kylie has endured more than any child should ever have to, and more than most adults will in an entire lifetime.

Her story is one of bravery and courage, and she has a fighting spirit that never gives up. ✊

She has made a list of special wishes, and she and her family are ticking them off together...

Over the last couple of months, Kylie has ridden rollercoasters at Hershey Park, met and fed capybaras and wolves, enjoyed a family trip to Sanibel Island, watched Moana at a drive-in, had special photoshoot, hung out with baby giraffes, and more!

This summer has been full of priceless memories, and there are still so many more to come.

Kylie, we're riding for YOU this September!

Kylie's strength inspires us to pedal hard and raise funds to support vital research to give kids with cancer the brighter futures they deserve...

Because Kylie should be living life, not fighting for it.

THANK YOU so much for making the pledge to ride 500 miles this September for the amazing Kylie and kids just like her.

Your support means the world. 😍

Raquel and the GCC Team
