My Story

16 Feb 2024

This September, I am embarking on my 5th year participating in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!

Why? In the summer of 2020 I discovered an affinity for biking and was blessed to stumble across this revolutionary cause. I have been blown away by the true kinship amongst the community of riders as well as the support and generosity of my family and friends. Thankfully, I do not personally know a child struggling with cancer but I have family and friends who have battled this ugly monster and I know how hard it can be on the body, mind and soul. Over the last 5 years I have watched many children handle this battle with a level of strength, hope and grace that I only pray I can strive to one day. Their stories inspire my ride!

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. I am only one person but with my voice I can give awareness to this cause and the money I raise will allow Children's Cancer Research Fund 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.
