My Story

19 Sep 2023

This will be my 6th year riding in the Great Cycle Challenge and I'm proud to be recognized as a GCC Champion. Times have still been challenging but cancer continues to rage no matter what. I'm going to achieve this goal mile by mile. Any pains I feel on the bike are nothing compared to what these kids go through. I'm recovering from a broken pelvis and will be doing my miles all on my stationary bike at home. Slowing me down? A little. But deflating my passion? Not a bit! Still going to push through to keep this going!

Why do I do it? 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.
