My Story

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.

Matthew

  • Level 2 Ride
    3 Sep 2024

    Since the bike is in the shop and I pushed myself yesterday with the HIIT work out, I did a level 2 ride for an hour with a 5 minute cool down.

    Hopefully this training will make those climbs easier.

  • Bikes in the Shop :(
    2 Sep 2024

    My bike is in the shop for a tune-up. Not only did I need my front innertube replaced, but I needed everything replaced. I needed a new chain, new rubber on the rim brakes, new cables, new everything.

    Oh, well. I did an HIIT workout today on an indoor bike to build strength. Going uphill sucked yesterday.

  • First Ride cut Short
    1 Sep 2024

    I wanted to start the first ride of the month exploring Golden Gate Park and riding off road. Well, unfortunately, my ride ended short due to a punctured innertube. I didn't realize that the front tire wasn't holding any air when I fixed up my bike on Friday. Whoops. Oh well. It's a long month. I'll just enjoy the view.
