My Story
6 Sep 2026
This September, I am again 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.

“Richard you are a blessing for all those children that desperately need help. I lost my stepfather to brain cancer 4 years ago. Cancer is so horrible for anyone. But for children it is especially heart breaking. God bless you for all that you are doing.”

“Thank you for your generous donation and kind words - I lost my father to pancreatic cancer when I was 18, just out of HS & starting trade school. When children are directly impacted by this disease it’s heartbreaking and anything I can do to help just seems appropriate. God bless you - keep singing - we are making a difference in these little lives! Richard”
