My Story

12 Sep 2024

This September, I am participating with the Grind Group in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!

We are raising funds through this 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.

My wife Reen and I contribute to St Jude Childrens Hospital, and I am an avid cyclist. So, this event involves two of my passions.

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.

Please support me and Childrens Cancer Research by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.

Your support will change kids' lives.

Thanks for your generous support.

Steve
