My Story

10 Sep 2025

In the Spring of 2016 our neice Abbie was diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma, in June of 2017 she lost her hard fought battle to this cancer.

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. 43 children per day or 15,780 per year are expected to be diagnosed, and sadly, 38 children die of cancer every week.

Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.

I am raising awareness and funding 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 donating to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.

Your support will change little lives.

Thank you,

Bernie
