My Story

14 Sep 2024

Lucky #7! Seven years of pedaling for the Great Cycle Challenge. I find the annual experience rewarding in countless ways. The moral and monetary support of my friends and family members fuels me each September day I ride. Let's do this!

Full disclosure... I will be out of the country and won't be able to log any miles from September 1st through September 13th. That said, I still plan to ride 200 miles (or more) during the second half of the month.

My Legacy

Here's my personal impact over 7 years to fight kids' cancer and save little lives.
