I'm Riding For

Finley Tyson Carter

On January 21,2021 Finley Tyson Carter gained his angel wings. This is my third year to ride in his memory. No child should spend more days in the hospital then they do at home. It isn't an easy thing for them or the family. They go through more than I ever will. These children are my hero. They endure so much and some never make it. So help me raise money for these children.

My Story

1 Jul 2023

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.

My second year of riding in 2021 I rode in memory of Finley as he gained his wings on the 21st of January 2021, at the young age of 18 months. Last year my third year of riding in 2022 I continued to ride in memory of Finley to raise awareness of how these children have a much difficult life trying to fight cancer and some never get the chance to live. This year 2023 my fourth year of riding, I ride in memory of Finley so he shall never be forgotten. This year I also ride for Addison. I have started a team to ride for her. Team Addy !

Please sponsor me so we can save these children.

Thank you!
