Cancer has taken too many young lives and robbed too many kids of their childhood. It needs to be taught a lesson. Please help achieve my goal this year.

I'm Riding For

James

James is a 10-year-old brave and courageous young boy with neuroblastoma. This is a very rare type of cancer to treat.

My Story

25 Jul 2025

This September I am riding for a fourth year with 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 I will be ridding 400 miles in support of all these wonderful and brave kids, and this is the second year I'm riding especially for a super brave and energetic 10-year-old James who has neuroblastoma.

James has been battling neuroblastoma since late 2022. He just returned home to Wisconsin after being away for two months at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, where he received a new form of CAR-T therapy (which seemed to work very well for him!). Through it all, James has kept an amazingly positive attitude and loves Legos, Star Wars, playing with his friends, and traveling around the country visiting national parks.

Please support me by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve. Your support will change little lives.

I appreciate all of you and so do these wonderful and brave children.

“I live down the block from James. I looked out the window this morning and saw him with his grandma, who lives across the street. I jumped up and yelled, "Hi James!!, So good to see you out!" How wonderful to have him home from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and feeling good enough to be outside for a bit. Thank you, Bill, for your dedication to ending childhood cancer!”
