My Story

5 Sep 2023

9/5/2023 UPDATE:

Thanks to the outpouring of generosity from so many, I will be increasing the sponsorship goal to : $5,000

8/31/2023 UPDATE:

Thanks to the generosity of so many, I will be increasing the sponsorship goal to : $3,500

++++++++++++++++++++++++

I am again taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer for the 4th consecutive year! And this year in 2023 I was asked to represent the GCC as a Champion rider and also a member of team Flat and Shady in the Philadelphia region.

I am pedaling for the entire month of September and my goal is to ride 100 miles.

I ride in their memories:

Susan ~ MaryLou ~ Edith ~ Steph

Over the past 3 years with the GCC, I was able to raise just under $10,400 thanks to all my friends, family, and colleagues around the nation!

It was all due to your generosity!!

I know we are continuing to live in challenging times, and it has been difficult 30 months for so many and I appreciate whatever donation you can afford to give, so very much!

And so in 2023, I am taking on the personal challenge goal to raise $2,500.

If you can, please help me reach this goal by donating at my personal fundraising page:

All funds raised will support Children's Cancer Research Fund to continue their work in developing innovative treatments and finding a cure for childhood cancer.

Thank you all again for your support in 2020, 2021, 2022 and again in 2023!

Best~
