I'm Riding For

Vali

To my boy Vali — if I could take your pain, I would in a heartbeat. While that’s in God’s hands, what I can do is ride 150 miles this September and raise $500 to help fight children’s cancer — in your name, with all my heart. -Tia Weenie

My Story

20 Aug 2025

𝐈 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐚 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐞.

This September, I am riding 150 miles in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids’ cancer. I’m dedicating every mile to my nephew, Vali, and to every child who deserves a future full of life, laughter, and dreams.

Right now, cancer is the #1 disease killer of children in the United States. Over 15,700 children are diagnosed each year, and tragically, 38 children die every week.

That’s why I ride—because kids should be riding their bikes, chasing adventures, and living out their childhood… not fighting cancer.

I am raising funds to support the Children’s Cancer Research Fund, fueling lifesaving treatments and bringing us closer to cures that can give children the futures they deserve.

Please consider making a donation. Every dollar brings us one step closer to brighter days for kids like Vali and so many others.

Together, we can change little lives. 💛

With love and hope,
