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
๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ฆ ๐จ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ก๐๐ง ๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฒ ๐๐ก๐ข๐ฅ๐ ๐๐๐ง ๐๐ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฌ๐๐ ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐.
This September, I am riding 150 miles in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kidsโ cancer. Iโm 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.
Thatโs why I rideโbecause kids should be riding their bikes, chasing adventures, and living out their childhoodโฆ not fighting cancer.
I am raising funds to support the Childrenโs 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. ๐
With love and hope,

Our superhero Vali is shining in Times Square! 🌟💛
20 Aug 2025Next month, Iโll be riding 150 miles in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kidsโ cancer. Every year, 15,000 kids are diagnosed and 38 lose their lives each week โ kids should be living life, not fighting for it.
โจ Today is extra special โ our very own โmuchacho alegreโ Vali (Jaime Valentรญn) is being featured on a Times Square billboard! ๐ฅน Iโll be up there too, like last year, but his moment means everything.
Iโm already halfway to my fundraising goal, and I couldnโt do this without your love and support. Thank you from the bottom of my heart โ this ride is for you, little Vali. ๐ดโโ๏ธ๐
Always with love,
Tรญa Weenie
