Dad,❤Mom,Brother Scott,Gram Colley,Uncle Harry&Jack,Randy,Janet&survivors,Carol,,Dorene&Sherie

Thıs year I'm riding for My Mom and Dad. My Dad sadly passed away July 21st 2022. In the end he suffered a stroke but the cancer was causing health issues. He had survıved lymphoma (12yrs ago), & Colon cancer(10 years ago). We sadly found out the colon cancer had reapperred ın dıfferent lymph nodes. I don't care ıf you are 5 or 89 ıt ıs devıstatıng to hear "your cancer ıs back", or "ıt's uncurable". My Mom passed away May 14th, 2019. Memorials were given in my Mom's name and we raised $4,006.42!!! She has been affected by Cancer(Loss of her Mother, Brother, Son and Janet her best friend(and many others close to her)her entire life. Although we lost her with complications to pneumonia she did have an underlying CMML condition. They both would want you to support my cause in the fight against cancer and cancer research. They were very proud of me for participating in this cause. I also ride for My brother Scott taken way to soon at 45 to lung cancer. Cancer sucks! Please help me make a dıfference again this year, blessıngs!😍😇

My Story

5 Aug 2025

This sept, I am taking part in my 9th Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer! In the first 8 years I have raised $25816.17!😁 and have ridden over 5825 miles. I have been overwhelmed by the generosity of my family and friends. This experience continues to impact me and has been life changing! Please consider giving for this great cause! Cancer sucks! Please read tribute below.

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 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! Joni
