I'm Riding For
Herb and Delores
I ride in memory of my in-laws, Herb and Delores, who both had battles with cancer during their lifetimes. As in years past, I also ride in honor of all the brave warriors, young and old, who are currently kicking cancer’s butt and showing me what strength in the face of challenge looks like day by day.
My Story
This September, for the tenth year, 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 together, Gene and I are raising funds through this 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. Our team is Old Folks on Bikes. If you like to ride, we can always use more team members and/or company for a stretch!
This year, Gene and I are looking into spending the month of September riding the shores of Lake Michigan, in both Wisconsin and Michigan. Stay tuned! As our plans develop, I'll let you know where we are and will post pictures of us and our bikes, Coco and Ash.
Please support us by joining the GCC and/or making a donation of any amount to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.
Your support will change little lives.
Thank you.
