My Story
Once again I am taking part with Children's Cancer Research Fund this year in the Great Cycle Challenge.
Right now, cancer is the biggest offender of pediatric health in the United States. More than 15,700 children are diagnosed with cancer every year, and approximately 1 in 285 children in the U.S. will be diagnosed with cancer before their 20th birthday.

Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.
“Over the last 50 years, the survival rates for childhood cancer have risen from 10% to almost 80%. Outcome in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (A.L.L.) has gone from a six month median survival to an 85% overall cure rate”

Knowing this, we can continue to strive to better our research and therapies, so our kids in the future won’t have to fight for the same chances. This month I am raising funds through my biking challenge to help these kids and support Children's Cancer Research Fund, to allow them to continue their work to develop lifesaving treatments.
Please support me by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.
Our collective support will change little lives.
Thank you.
