My Story

4 Sep 2024

This September, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to 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.

Please support me by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.

Your support will change little lives.

Thank you.

MaryEllen

Micah talks about you almost every time we chat and I’m so glad you both made it to their wedding. I’ve been doing this bike ride for 5 years and am so glad I can do it for families affected by cancer. It has hit ours this year (Dan’s sister) was recently diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. I’m pedaling in her honor and everyone touched by this awful disease. I know you both have experienced it first hand. Thanks again! I know that M and M are planning on seeing you in October (I think). Take care!! -MaryEllen🚴🏻❤️”
