I'm Riding For

James M. Zimmer

Thanks Dad, for being the role model you were and teaching me how to be a father.

My Story

23 Jul 2021

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. I am a cancer survivor and I ride to honor my father who passed away from 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.

    “Amanda, Thanks for the very generous donation. I'm riding my buns off, but not near as much as your dad. I'm still an amateur. I don't know if you saw my latest Facebook post where I upgrade my set-up. I now watch the Steelers game replay as I ride. I watch the Eagles too. Looking forward to your wedding. Love, Uncle David (Cindy says hi too. Prairie, our dog, lifted her head. Her normal position is prone, all the time).”
