My Story

19 Aug 2024

This September 2024, along with Great Cycle Challenge I enter my 4th year straight to help fight kids' cancer!

Why? Two Reasons:

REASON ONE: 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.

REASON TWO: Because I can and want to help the families whose kid is fighting cancer.

So I am raising funds through my challenge to help these kids and support the 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.

At this time, I have scheduled to ride for 112 miles in the month of September. If I raise the $500 before or by September 1st, 2024, I will add another 10 miles, a total of 122 miles for the month of September. :)

Lots of love for your support for this great cause!

  • Week 3 Done
    21 Sep 2024

    Many thanks again for my supporters for your kind donations.

    Week 3 of the Great Cycle Challenge USA has been another fulfilling week! It’s been busy balancing work, events, and finding time to cross-train. Biking continues to be the primary goal this month, but I’ve also managed to fit in some running to mix things up and stay on track. The coastal quiet moments have been a great way to reflect and recharge. As summer ends today, Saturday and temperatures change, I still move forward. I’d like to once again thank those who have donated and supported towards the cause to help kids fight cancer, and I’m still accepting donations.

    Thank you all for your continued support and donations!

    Two Weeks Away to 9/01/2024

    Thank you to the anonymous supporter for your donation to Kids’ Fighting Cancer - Great Cycle Challenge USA.

    This past week was both fun and challenging. I worked over 51 hours, including overtime, and still managed to ride 22 miles after a back-to-school BBQ in East Palo Alto, where we engaged families about the new public library 📚.

    I rode from East Palo Alto to Millbrae Caltrain, then back to SF. As September 1st approaches, I'm gearing up for this year’s Great Cycle Challenge—a 112-mile ride to help kids fight cancer. My goal is $500, with $360 left to raise. Thanks for your support!
