I'm Riding For

Eric Benedum

Eric Benedum

I am dedicating this ride to Eric Benedum, my friend that passed away this year. Eric was a kind and generous person who always supported GCC and encouraged me to continue participating with this challenge. I will miss his words of encouragement but I know he will be watching and ridding next to me because he also love to ride bikes like me. He is dearly missed by me, his family and friends.

My Story

20 Sep 2024

This September, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!

Why? 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.

Here's my personal impact over 5 years to fight kids' cancer and save little lives.
