My Story

15 May 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.

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

Your support will change little lives.

Thank you.

    “Chris thank you so much for the donation and the inspiring words. You know I really don't ride my bike that much aside from this month and while it is hard, I am inspired to do so for the kids. I think about the time I spent riding a bike as a kid and the fact that all kids should be able to do that. My hope is that with our help they all are able to ride and do all the things they want to do. God bless you!”
