My wife has been fighting MGRS for over a year. The battle is endless and keeping our chins up is challenging. Janet has been a trouper. I’m proud of her strength and determination.

My Story

10 Aug 2024

This September, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer! My wife has been fighting MGRS for over a year. The battle is endless and keeping our chins up is challenging. Janet has been a trouper. I’m proud of her strength and determination. Knowing the struggle first hand, I want to dedicate my rides to my wife, Janet.

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.
