I'm Riding For
Nicole
When I think of Nicole, I just smile! She was a curious wonderful child! Asked me hundred’s of questions for being so shy ☺️ and what a giggle she had. I’m sure she would have grown up to be a veterinarian or a school teacher.
My Story
This September, we aretaking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!
Why? Because not only is a child impacted with tremendous sickness and fright, the trickle down effect is also a challenge for a family who is supporting their Cancer stricken child. It was so hard to watch my niece Nicole go from a vibrant curious child to a wide eyed frightful child and then to a grown child, not by choice but sadly from having to endure things that children shouldn’t have to endure. Nicole always had a smile no matter how sick she was until the last year of her life. She spent that year mostly in hospitals and in commas and when she was awake she had much fear. I will spare you any hospital details as these images stay for life. The trickle down effect- Parents need to be by their child’s side and soon find themselves exhausted of PTO and any personal unpaid time off. Coworkers give their PTO in support and that becomes exhausted as well. Now it’s down to, do I be by my child’s side as they are clinging to parents or just one parent, or do I go back to work. What a hard decision. The consequences are now the parent gets fired for missing to many days YES FIRED and now there is only one parent working and insurance premiums are not cheap. Nicole was diagnosed at age 10 and at age 12 she finished her Chemotherapy. Unfortunately she relapsed and passed away at age 13. 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.
Christina Lindseth & I will be riding 200 miles to Nicole’s hometown. Please donate 2 help kids be kids
Your support will change little lives.
Thank you.

Many reasons to ride
27 Jun 2024Christina and I will be riding this year and we have many reasons to ride! As some may know, my sister Sandy, was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer the night before our 200mile trip last year! Sadly, she has passed away this past May! Christina had taken a mammogram because of that and, yep she too has/had breast cancer and went through the treatments and should be fine going forward! I myself have had thyroid cancer so we both ride for a lot of personal reasons. Also, my brother Dean has been kicking Lung Cancers butt and our friend Carlie has been kicking it too! THANK GOD AND THANK MODERN MEDICINE!! this research fundraiser helps everyone, not just kids! Most people have no idea what others go through until it happens to you or to people you care about <3 we may not be going on hundreds of miles at once for the trip but we are going on trips nonetheless of 70 and 120 and we will muster our energy to do as many as possible ~ GET YOUR BOOBIES CHECKED! ~Much love, Sheri and Christina <3
