Right now, Lila and her family are going through the toughest time of their lives. Lila is currently fighting acute lymphoblastic leukemia. In addition to this, she suffered a stroke before she was born, is non-verbal, fed through a g-tube, and has also been diagnosed with quadriplegic cerebral palsy, dystonia, and scoliosis. Lila has been a fighter her whole life. Lila's cancer diagnosis was made even more terrifying by the potential complications posed her other diagnoses. She's currently undergoing immunotherapy treatment. Please keep her and her family in your prayers.
My Story
I am so excited to ride again in the Great Cycle Challenge! This is my sixth year riding to fight kids' cancer! This is my highest GCC mileage goal! I will probably have to include some miles on my bike trainer this year to reach my 450 mile goal, but they still count! π΄ββοΈπ This year I am riding in honor of Lila.
Why am I riding again? 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.
Funds raised through my challenge 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 my challenge to give all the kids the brighter futures they deserve. Your support will change little lives. Thank you!

Ride #7
6 Sep 2024Another beautiful morning for a spin with Kelly and 18.5 miles! I have officially crossed over the 150-mile mark (in six days)! We forgot to take our picture when we rode, so we improvised on a snapshot on the way home. πKeep those donations coming, and I will keep spending the miles away! π΄ββοΈπ

Ride #3
4 Sep 2024First ride with Kelly in this yearβs Challenge! It was quite the blustery ride with the NNE winds todayπ¨but we did it! I kept thinking of the kids fighting cancer and how much harder their fight is and that motivated me to push through the wind. πͺI added another 22 miles to my total! Lynn and Lou even joined us for a few laps. I am so thankful for my husband and friends that help me get my miles completed each year! π Iβve got 378 miles to go so keep the donations and prayers coming! π΄ββοΈππ

Today marks the start of the Great Cycle Challenge! This is my SIXTH year participating. My goals this year are to ride 450 miles and raise $3000 for this very worthy cause.
Since the weather forecast for this afternoon was really hot, I decided to start my day on my bike. I had a great solo ride for 20 miles (in spite of showing up with two right-hand gloves π). It was a beautiful sunrise to witness and a time of prayer for the kids fighting this awful disease. I am now only 430 miles from my mileage goal. I look forward to all of the miles to come. π΄ββοΈ
Since I am no longer on social media, I know it wonβt be as easy to spread the word out about my challenge, but I know God is faithful. If He brings you to it, He will bring you through it. π If you can help share my personal profile page with your friends, I would appreciate it.
I look forward to sharing my progress with you! Thank you for your prayers and all of your support! Letβs kick cancerβs butt! π΄ββοΈππβ€οΈ
Thanks Tammy
