My Story

10 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.

  • To Morgan Hill and back
    11 Sep 2024

    Today I went out to Morgan Hill and back on the Coyote Creek Trail. Total of about 25 miles. While out there I met Ha a cyclist riding the GCC for Pediatric Cancer Research! I am in the Santa Cruz chapter. He may be in a different chapter, but really happy to run into someone wearing the same jersey!

    Today was match day. It seems a lot of people knew this was coming and waited to donate today. Perfect timing! I am so grateful for all the donations I have received and humbled at everyone’s generosity. There are so many places we can choose to put our hard earned money. I am glad people have considered this a cause worth investing in, our kids and their future. Thank you!

    Marital Cottle Park had wonderful playground for kids complete with animal statues and wide open spaces. This was a nice flat ride in a wonderful open space designed for the community.

    Saturday morning ride with Tom. 16 miles to Calero and back. Huge Peloton passed us. We both wanted to jump in And draft for a while! Legs were tired today but overall nice ride before the heat.

  • Monterey to 17 mile Dr and back
    7 Sep 2024

    This was a big ride! Great weather for riding. Got to see the Sea Lions in Monterey! You could smell them before you could hear or see them! Asilomar was beautiful as always. 17 mile drive was not the biker friendly path I thought it would be. I felt lost a lot of the time even though I wasn’t. The climb into Carmel was rough with too many cars! But finished in Sand City with ocean views

    Fourth ride was on my home turf. But the tracker didn’t record all of my ride! It was 14 miles round trip. Nice shade in New Almaden area but hot ride overall.

  • Murphy’s Ca to Moaning Caverns
    3 Sep 2024

    This Ride was another familiar path but taken only in The car till now. Rolling hills, nice views and interesting vineyards and homesteads. I’m going to rehydrate for the next few hours now!

  • Sierra ride
    3 Sep 2024

    Today I rode from Murphy’s to Arnold, Ca. It was not very far but 1160 feet of elevation gained on the ride made it a tough one. Everything is harder in the Sierras. Running, swimming, biking. No area is flat for long, and there is just less air up here! It was a good challenge for me this morning! Have a great day everyone!

  • Start date! Sept 1
    30 Aug 2024

    I am attempting to ride 200miles. I haven’t been biking and circumstances have slowed my usual pace. But I am hoping to ride as far as I can to raise money to fight cancer. Everyone is affected by this disease.

    I just went out today and rode around White Pines Lake up in Arnold, Ca. It was more of a mountain bike path. Rocky and slow going and high in elevation but beautiful!

    Start date! Sept 1
