My Story
1 Jul 2025
I am participating in the Great Cycle Challenge in September to fight kids' cancer. This event raises money for the Children's Cancer Research Fund to allow them to continue developing lifesaving treatments and find a cure for childhood 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.
I typically ride my bike every weekend so this is a way to help people while I pedal. Please support me by donating to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve. Your support will change lives.
Thank you -- Jim "Da Coach"
