My Story

7 Sep 2025

This September, I will participate in my fifth Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer. I will be riding in memory of my brother-in-law, Matt Fliger, who passed away from brain cancer at a young age. I plan to ride 300 miles during the month and hope to raise $3000 to to help fight childhood cancers. Your generous donations to the Children’s Cancer Research Fund are greatly appreciated and will make a difference to these kids!

Why? Because right now, cancer is the biggest killer of children from disease in the United States. Over 15,700 children are diagnosed every year, and sadly, 38 children die of cancer every week.

Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.

So I am raising funds through my challenge to help these kids and support the Children's Cancer Research Fund to allow them to continue their work to develop lifesaving treatments and find a cure for childhood cancer.

Please support me by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.

Your support will change little lives.

Thank you for your kind support!
