My Story

12 Jul 2025

Five years. Thousands of miles. One mission: to fight childhood cancer.

This September, I’m riding in the Great Cycle Challenge for the fifth year—not for the miles, not for the medals, but for the kids who can’t ride because they’re in a hospital bed fighting for their lives.

This ride has become a part of me. Over the years, it’s shifted from just a challenge into a deep, personal commitment. I’ve grown with it—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Every pedal stroke reminds me of what matters most: giving these kids a chance at life.

Cancer remains the #1 disease-related cause of death in children. It steals joy, time, and futures. That’s why I ride. And that’s why I support St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, which leads the way in treating and defeating childhood cancer—at no cost to families.

No child should have to fight alone.

So I ride—to honor those in the fight, to remember those we’ve lost, and to help St. Jude continue their lifesaving work.

If you can, please support my ride. Every donation brings us one mile closer to a cure, one smile closer to hope, and one step closer to the day cancer is no longer a threat to a child’s life.

Ride with me. Fight with me. Let’s give these kids the future they deserve.

Thank you 💛
