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.

Thank you.

Gordy

  • Final Fund Raising Update
    30 Sep 2025

    I have been bike riding annually for a few years now to raise funds for the Children's Cancer Research Fund. This year I thought I would find a unique way to cap off my bike riding exploits with something that shows my commitment to this great cause. So what better way to cap off my bike riding pledge of 200 miles for the month of September than with completing a full marathon (26.2 miles). Yep, moving a little slower today, but I completed the Boulder, CO Marathon on Sunday, be it at a snails pace. I did experience the negative affects excessive altitude has on the lung capacity of old guys like me - so much for training at sea level-LOL. Honestly If these physical efforts are successful in raising the funds necessary to help find cures for childhood cancer then I'll keep pounding, and riding the pavement until I can't do it any more. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND ATTENTION!!! Feel free to text me to verify this is a very legitimate fund raiser! Gordy
