I'm Riding For

Every Child and Family Battling Cancer

I am riding for family and friends that have battled cancer. The fight is a hard one. It taxes the mind and body for the patient and their family members. My objective is to make a difference in a child's life.

My Story

22 Sep 2025

Hello Friends,

This is my tenth-year riding in the Great Cycle Challenge to help fight children’s cancer. Thanks to many, many supporters, I have raised over $212,947 and pedaled over 7,758 miles. Funding for cancer research faces many uncertainties. Please donate to my ride this year to help support children and their families in this difficult battle. Together we can make a difference in their lives.

Please visit my page, https://greatcyclechallenge.com/Riders/JoelFalter and donate to my ride. Every dollar helps.

Thank you,

Joel
