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.

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.

Bob

My Challenge

  • DALMAC 2025 5 Day West
    10 Sep 2025

    The week prior to Labor Day this year I was able to ride in Michigan's 350 mile, 5-day cycling event, DALMAC. We started at Michigan State and cycled to the Mackinac Bridge, generally around 75 miles each day. Challenging rolling hills led us to the beautiful towns of Charlavoix, Harbor Bay and Petoskey. Ask me about this the next time we meet up!
