I'm Riding For
Taylor
Riding for Taylor 🚴♂️ This year, every mile I pedal in the Great Cycle Challenge is dedicated to my incredible friend, Taylor. Taylor’s fight against cancer has been a true testament to resilience, strength, and unwavering grit: 2020: Taylor was first diagnosed with HPV16+ squamous cell carcinoma in the right inguinal lymph node. 2021: Victory! Scans showed Taylor was completely cancer-free. January 2026: The battle returned with a diagnosis of presacral HPV16+ squamous cell carcinoma on the left side. February – June 2026: Taylor faced grueling chemo head-on, completing treatment on June 9th. The Victory: Scans just three weeks later brought incredible news—everything was clear, and the primary tumor shrank from the size of a walnut down to the size of a peanut! "Taylor is an absolute warrior, and watching them fight through every obstacle inspires me every single day." While Taylor is busy shrinking tumors, I’m putting my feet to the pedals to support the fight against cancer. I'm riding to honor Taylor’s relentless spirit and to help fund the research that saves lives. Thank you for supporting my ride, cheering on Taylor, and helping us pedal toward a cancer-free future!
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 adults) and support the Cancer Research Fund to allow them to continue their work to develop lifesaving treatments and find a cure for cancer.
Please support me by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.
Your support will change lives.
Going into September 2026, these are my overall stats:
Ridden- 14,936 mi
Raised- $40,006.66
My goal this year is to raise at least $1000 while logging 500 miles in the month of September.
Thank you.
James
