As we go forward, I will send along updates at the beginning of each month until September. In September as rides transition from training into official, I will send weekly updates.
I am happy to report we are up to 17 sponsors, for over $2900. A great start thanks to many of you.
About the Challenge.....
The Great Cycle Challenge, benefiting Children's Cancer Research Fund, started in 2015, and after 10 years, the event has grown to become one of the biggest cycling events in the United States.
People of all ages, abilities and from every state across the country set themselves a personal riding goal and challenge themselves to pedal to fight kids’ cancer. This year the challenge will again take place throughout the month of September.
In 10 years, our community of riders from all 50 states has ridden a total of 33,817,103 miles, and together we’ve raised $72,646,876 in support of research to develop better treatments and find a cure for childhood cancer.
Enjoy your spring!
I just raised $2,500 to fight kids' cancer and achieved SUPERHERO LEVEL in the challenge! Thank you so much for your support.
Although it was only 2 weeks ago that I put out my announcement note that I would be riding again this year, I am happy to share that we now have fourteen donors on my list for a total of over $2100. Amazing. What a great start!
Some historical perspective. In my first 2 years, 2017-2018, of participating in this Great Cycle Challenge, I raised about $2700. Now in 2025, we have raised more than $2100 in just 2 weeks.
Thanks for checking out my update and adding your names to my list.
Keep the kids in your thoughts.
