I'm Riding For
Megan
Riding for family and friends impacted by the ravages of cancer and to fund research for eliminating children’s cancer!
My Story
This September, I am again 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.

8th Year Finale
30 Sep 2024Just completed my last portion of my mileage goal of 100 miles for this year - had to do all on an indoor recumbent due to doctor restrictions on riding with a spinal fracture.
Unfortunately I had to reduce my fundraising goal as promised donations didn’t occur. I hope next year is better all around.
Kudos to everyone who did donate this year - you are heroes to those kids fighting cancer!!!

Riding despite challenges
11 Sep 2024Recovering from lumbar surgery (fracture) in a hard brace that won’t be removed until October 2nd, at the earliest, has kept me from riding a regular bicycle. I have obtained an indoor recumbent bicycle, approved by my physical therapist, and will attempt to hit my mileage goal with it. Harder than I initially anticipated.
