I'm Riding For

Hannah Grace

Hannah Grace

Hannah Grace is now 8 and sadly battling this cancerous tumor again - watching her go through this breaks our hearts, but we are all believers and know God is walking with Hannah and her Family. We will post more pictures during the ride as we add up the miles and donations. Continue to pray for and with The Billman Family!

My Story

5 Sep 2025

This is my 9th year right and seeing Hannah grow throughout the years and then now having to go back through treatment just breaks our hearts. Her Family is strong but exhausted and we pray for the strength to go through this again. Please help support me again this year and send prayers as well. September 10th is Kick Cancers Butt Match Day so please mark your calendars!!! Once I get over my flu I'll be out there riding the miles I have set as my goal. Thank you everyone for anything you can do and God Bless.

My Challenge

  • 20 at a time
    28 Sep 2025

    Planned on riding a good one on Saturday but several work issues changed that plan - so after our grandsons soccer game and a visit with an elderly friend we hit a quick 20 miles.

    October will be needed and used to complete my commitment but it will happen. Thank you everyone for your support. Also Hannah finished up her radiation but needs to rebuild her strength.

  • Slow Start due to the Flu
    5 Sep 2025

    Recovering from a late summer Cold/Flu and as soon as I am back to normal I will be on that bike! Did a few miles in the Neighborhood on Sept 1 but just didn't have the energy for anything heavy. September 10th is Kick Cancers Butt day which will be the Match day.
