My Story
This September, for the 3rd year, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!
Each year, more than 15,000 kids and young adults are diagnosed with cancer—that’s about 43 per day.
Though the 5-year-survival rate for childhood cancers has reached 80 percent, nearly 2,000 kids under age 19 die each year, making cancer the leading killer of children by disease.
And that’s just in the United States. In 2016, over 300,000 kids and young adults were diagnosed worldwide.
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.

Did You Know
12 Aug 2026Did You Know: Childhood neuroblastoma statistics show about 650 to 800 new cases are diagnosed each year in the United States, accounting for roughly 6% to 10% of all childhood cancers and it is the most common cancer in infants. Sadly, Neuroblastoma accounts for about 15% of all childhood cancer-related deaths.
Some ask me why I do it. Why do I put myself through the physical and mental strife?? Because there is a very young lady, the granddaughter of a friend of ours, who at 11 months old didn’t have a choice in the matter. But she showed up and did what had to be done and fought the good fight…through the good and bad!! Today she is a beautiful young lady with a great future ahead of her!! She motivated me into taking on this new found challenge…to fight the good fight…to be part of something bigger than myself..to have a chance to make a difference!! Thanks Bell’s!!!
Since I started this event in 2019, not that they are kids, but I have personally been affected by cancer losing my dad to Acute Myeloid Leukemia, recently having my adult son diagnosed and treated for bladder cancer, and 2 Army buddies both diagnosed and treated for cancers.
This is why I need all of you to share and or donate to the fight using the link below!!
