I'm Riding For
CRISTIAN + TRISTAN, NO BATTLE SHOULD BE FOUGHT ALONE!!
NO BATTLE SHOULD BE FOUGHT ALONE! TWO FINE YOUNG MEN WHO ARE NOW ANGELS FOR ALL!!
My Story
June, 2024
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 the 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.
A prayer for the eternal rest of Cristian Tobar and Tristan Dillon is also much appreciated! I was blessed to know and experience the goodness of these fine young men during their short time on earth. May They Rest in Peace!!
In addition, I also ride this year in honor of Patrick Meade as he continues his battle with cancer.
Thank you.
Rich
