My Story

14 Mar 2025

Here we go! Riding my fourth year in the Great Cycle Challenge, and kids cancer is even closer to home...

(⁠*⁠﹏⁠*⁠;⁠)

I continue to ride for 6 year old Allie, who was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia last year in February. 2 year old Heather is the granddaughter of another dear friend, and was diagnosed in May last year with Neuroblastic Cancer. Now, more than ever, is the time to kick some serious cancer butt!!

Both girls have been having some really great days, and so many more not as good, but both continue to shine their beautiful smiles.

Join with me this year to KICK CANCERS BUTT! Let's give Allie, Heather, and every kid out there, the hope of a brighter tomorrow!
