My Story
Friends and Family,
This year, I am again taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge (GCC) to fight kids' cancer! This will be my third consecutive year to take up the Challenge, in which we set mileage and donation goals for the month of September. Our fundraising provides vital support (literally!) for the Children's Cancer Research Fund, a highly rated national foundation.
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. One of these was my 3–year old step–grandson Brayden, who died of Wilms' Tumor, the most common form of childhood kidney cancer. Most kids with Wilms that get an early diagnosis go on to survive and lead normal lives. Brayden never got that chance.
In 2023, the National Cancer Institute will earmark about $300 million for pediatric cancer research. That sounds like a huge investment, but it is only 4% of a total budget of over $7.7 billiion! This is an abomination. I have made the first donation of $250. Please join me by making a generous donation of your own to support the Children's Cancer Research Fund and give these kids the brighter futures they deserve. Kids should be living their lives, not fighting for them.
In 2021, I rode 271 miles and raised $178. Last year I rode 304 miles and raised $2,034. This year I again will try to coax 300 miles out of my aging, delapidated body – I cannot realistically expect more. But as for support, that depends on you! I have set a goal of $2500 and hope you will help me to reach or even exceed it.
Thank you so much,
Rex
