I'm Riding For
Izzy Sullivan
Izzy is my 8.5 year old daughter who was diagnosed with a germ cell yolk sack tumor a week after her first birthday. Today she is in good health, always active and considered a survivor! Every day is a gift and we raise money and awareness for other little ones who cancer took too soon.
My Story
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.
2,798 days ago we heard the awful words “your child has cancer.” Each day since then we’ve worked hard to bring awareness to this awful disease and create opportunities for others to join in the fight.
Today kicks off my annual month-long Great Cycle Challenge where I ride my bike to creat awareness and raise funds for life-saving research.
My goal this year is to ride 200 miles and raise $2,798 dollars, one dollar for each day we’ve been part of this club we never believed we would be part of.
As I write this I’m watching my healthy 8 1/2 year old survivor pull out a wiggly tooth, and tomorrow I get to watch her start third grade. What a gift! The sad reality is that so many kiddos don’t hit these milestones because cancer took them too soon.
You can help make a difference for kiddos like Izzy who shouldn’t have to be brave and fight as hard as they have.
Thanks for encouraging me this month on my GCC efforts and for donating with me to make a difference.
Can’t swing it now? That’s okay. Share my post, tell others about the importance. There are so many ways to make a difference. We are all in it together.
You can track my ride and donate here! Thank you 🙏🏻
Your support will change little lives.
Thank you.
