My Story

22 Sep 2025

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.

This year it is more important than ever as cuts to research grants and contracts take effect and as federal funding to labs is slashed. Also, clinical trials will be reduced as the Pediatric Brain Tumor Consortium is dismantled. It is estimated that the budget for the National Cancer Institute will be cut by more than 37% next year, affecting all cancer research.

Please support me by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.

Your support will change little lives.

Thank you.
