My Story

18 Apr 2024

I am participating in my 7th Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer this September! Riding All Year.

Why? 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. As Cancer Survivors my wife Jeanne & I know the importance of Fighting this killer.

So far we have raised $72,646,876. Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.

So I am raising funds through my challenge to help these kids.

Your support will change little lives.

Thank you, Ken Groezinger
