My Story

18 Jul 2024

It's that time of year and onge again I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!

Cancer is the biggest killer of children from disease in the United States. It took my daughter Valarie when she was just 4½ years old. Over 15,000 children are diagnosed every year, and sadly, 38 children die every week. Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.

So I'm 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. Even if It's only a dollar or two, it all adds up.

If you can't make a donation, and this is really important, please share this fundraiser with your friends. Maybe they can help.

Your support WILL change their lives.

Thank you.
