I'm Riding For
My Mom
I lost my Mom in early 2024 to pancreatic cancer. I spent countless childhood hours with my parents riding around the countryside of Ohio on my bike. She was also such a huge supporter of me every year in this challenge since I started a couple of years ago. Mom, these rides are for you.
My Story
2024:
Just one short year since I last participated in this challenge, yet my life has significantly changed. My lifelong #1 supporter, my Mom, has passed to the dreaded disease, pancreatic cancer. Grief does crazy things to the mind and body, but my Mom always said I do what I put my mind to.
The challenge this year hits differently. You have my word I will do my very best to hit my goals and beyond. It is so worth it to change those little lives. <3 Here's to Year #3!
2023 Year #2 Recap:
I'm always so excited to help others while doing what I love, staying active and trying to be a good role model for my little one. I was so humbled by the support last year and touched by each and every bit of encouragement and donation received. I exceeded my mileage and fundraising goals. My goals were 100 miles and $500 but I hit 140 miles and $2,645, thanks to the all the amazing support!
2022 and YOY Recap :
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. I currently have riding and fundraising goals (started Year #1 at 75 miles and $150). Every year, fundraising intimidates me and I'm hoping my knees cooperate. If all goes well, I increase those goals so stay tuned and join me on my journey!
Your support will change little lives.
Thank you.
