My Story
11 Aug 2024
I am now into my eighth year as a Great Cycle Challenge spokesman to help spread and bring awareness to help fight kids' cancer!
Why? Because 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 to allow them to continue their work to develop lifesaving treatments and find a cure for childhood cancer.
I hope you can find it in your heart to support me by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.
Your support will change little lives and their families!
Thank you.
