I'm Riding For

#Joestrong

Joe was your average 3rd grader. He loved video games, the WWE, and hanging out with his friends and family. And then, in an instant, everything changed. A lingering illness turned out to be Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (or ALL). Cancer. The words no parent ever wants to hear. He loved spending time with his family, friends, and his two dogs Emma and Gary. Joe had a love for life and enjoyed taking rides in his go cart, playing outside, watching Youtube and playing video games. He enjoyed cheeseburgers and pizza, sour skittles and pickles. Joe had a love for helping those less fortunate than himself. He had a contagious laugh, a bright smile, and a kind spirit. Over the nine months Joe fought leukemia, he was still your average kid in so many ways. Still loved video games, the WWE, and hanging out with his friends and family. He earned his way to being so much more than your Average Joe. He is a Fighter, a Hero, an Inspiration. We are #joestrong.

My Story

7 Jan 2026

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.

Ricardo

SPIN CLASS OF HORRORS

25 Aug 2026

OK, sotry time. But this story deserves at least a $1 donation.

I'm trying to get myself in shape for the Great Cycle Challenge USA that starts next month (Why I need donations). I'm in the middle of intensive work training (IYKYK), In far, far away from my bike, helmet and other gear. SO, I've got a temporary membership to a Health Club in town where they have Spun Bikes (better than gym stationary bikes, more representative of a road bike). I started sneaking in 1hr training sessions since yesterday, it wasn't bad.

Today, my goal was to do the same thing, go on, pedal for 1hr, go back to studying. 35 minutes into my session, a bunch of younger folks (except for one gramma that looked 80) started coming in, LONG story short, I got trapped in a spoon class, and for the last 20-25 minutes of my hr, I tried keeping up and doing the class.....💀

Needless to say, I don't belong in there. And at the end of my hr I left, but it was W I L D!

FISH OUTTA WATER. Now, drop me a donation for my efforts and willingness to give it a try.

I'LL DO ANYTHING FOR THESE KIDS. 💛🧡

P.S. I don't need you to tell me how creepy it was that I took pictures, but nobody would belive that story otherwise, not even myself 24hrs ago.
