I'm Riding For

Esten Clague

Mom was an amazingly strong, vivacious and ALIVE woman whom cancer just came and took. I was pissed then (in 2005) and I remain committed to fight cancer in some way. Mom, I'll ride with you in mind every mile in September!

My Story

1 Sep 2024

Despite my continuing battle with the grief of losing my beautiful Laura, this September-for the SEVENTH year in a row-I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer! I believe this to be a great cause to fight for, even in this small way. I hope to ride a bunch and raise a bunch of funds for he Childrens' Cancer Research Fund.

I believe in this cause and this charitable organization so I've volunteered to not only ride myself but also to get OTHERS to ride with me! So join me! It's easy to sign up. Let's get a group of us going on this challenge!

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.

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.

Thank you.

For Laura

9 Sep 2024

The other person in the equation is my beautiful wife Laura. She always backed me 100% on this thing. I miss her with every breath. I'm so lucky to be fit enough to ride...it takes my mind off of the pain and helps calm my hurting heart.

I rode yesterday in the smoke and heat...I hope the fire crews are safe and making progress. Those people are such a blessing.

It may not seem that I'm riding as much but I have to have EITHER clean air or cooler temps. I will be on it, friends. I promise.
