My Story

13 Aug 2026

This September will be my sixth year riding in the Great Cycle Challenge.

Why do I ride? Because I lost my sister Laura to Breast cancer back in 1991. In 2023 I lost my wife Sharon and my brother-in-law Neal. Both passed a couple months apart from cholangiocarcinoma a very aggressive cancer. Today 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.
