My Story

20 Aug 2025

This September 2025, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to help Fight Kids' Cancer for the 6 years. Last year, thanks to you all I was blessed to meet both challenge goals. I truly need your help again to meet this year challenge that I set for myself. Thanks so much in advance the children fighting cancer and I really appreciate your support.

Did you know 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'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.

Your support will help change the lives for so many.

Thank you.
