I'm Riding For

Dylan Jenkins

Dylan was diagnosed back in June 2015 at 6yrs old with Stage 4 embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma. This all started in his soft pallet, then Dylan become congested and his voice changed. At first I thought it was allergies. Originally diagnosed with acute tonsillitis. A few weeks went by Dylan being on steroids and antibiotics and many sleepless nights & developing sleep apnea. Finally, at St. Christopher's, he was scheduled for a tonsillectomy on June 1st turned, it out to be a tumor. For a child just going in for a routine tonsillectomy & comes out with Cancer is not the news any parent or child wants to hear. Dylan went though 58 weeks of chemo and 28 days of proton therapy radiation to his head and neck for a year. His attitude and bravery so far is amazing! He is now approaching his one year of being cancer free at 8yrs old. Thank god everyday for all the love and support Dylan received though out his journey but most of all having him here with us is our biggest blessing today!!!

My Story

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 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.

Shawn
