I'm Riding For

Ivone Garcia Lobo

My mother battled cancer for 28 years with extraordinary courage, grace, and resilience. She never gave up, and her strength became the example that shaped my own life. Nine years ago, I was diagnosed with cancer. As I faced surgeries, radiation, and chemotherapy, I carried her spirit with me every step of the way. I fought with all my heart, body, and soul, determined to keep moving forward, to keep working, and to keep believing. Today, I am grateful to say that I survived. Although my mother is no longer here, her courage lives on in me. This year, I will ride 100 miles in her memory and in honor of every child who is bravely fighting cancer. Every mile is a reminder that hope is stronger than fear, and that none of us fights alone. If my mother’s journey taught me anything, it is that love, determination, and the support of others can carry us through our darkest moments. Please join me in making a difference. Your donation will help fund lifesaving research, provide critical support for children and their families, and remind them that an entire community is riding beside them. Together, we can turn miles into hope and hope into healing. Thank you for being part of this journey.
