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.
In 2021, I raised over $700 and completed over 700 miles in support of this challenge.
Thank you.

Just another 100 miles to reach my goal.
22 Sep 2024Hi support crew,
I have just about 100 more miles to ride before exceeding my goal of 800 miles this month of September as I've been raising funds and awareness for children’s cancer research.
With just 7 days remaining until Sept 30th, I will confidently exceed my target goal of 800 miles.
Thanks again to all of you who have supported me; and most importantly for your support of children and families as they may be struggling to overcome their own personal challenges in the fight against childhood cancers.

Mileage update as of 9/10
10 Sep 2024It’s been 10 days so far in September and I’m nearly 1/2 the way there on my mileage goal of 800 miles in the month of September. I’m feeling confident and optimistic that I’ll meet my goal. I have some business travel and family commitments off/on in the next 20 days remaining, but I’ll keep pedaling forward and strive to get to my goal! Thanks to all of the supporters and donors.

First ride completed
2 Sep 2024Hello supporters, family and friends
Yesterday 9/1 was the start of the Great Cycle Challenge fundraiser to raise money for research I the fight against kids’ cancers. Thank you to all of the generous donations that were made on day 1 in support of my goal to raise $800 (almost hit the goal within a few short hours yesterday) and there are still 29 days fundraising remaining before the challenge is completed on 9/30.
Last night I got in 42 miles of gravel roads, country farm roads and pavement in the Oregon, IL area. It was a beautiful night under the stars and my rode was full of joy and gratitude knowing that I have received such tremendous loving support from donors. Thanks!
Together we can.
