Erika Metzgar

I am doing this ride in tribute to my mother, Erika Metzgar, who succumbed to cancer 10 years ago. She was a giver who would have loved this.

My Story

24 Jul 2026

This September, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!

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.

Joseph

  • Chris Brooks
    “What you are doing is nothing short of incredible! Riding 400 miles over 30 days is a massive physical challenge, but the purpose behind every single pedal stroke is even bigger. You are turning your strength into hope for children and families who are fighting the toughest battles of their lives. On the days when your legs feel heavy, the wind is against you, or the hill feels too steep, remember the "why" behind your journey. You are riding for their smiles, their futures, and a world without pediatric cancer. Every mile you clear brings us closer to that goal. We are all behind you, cheering you on every single mile of the way. Take it one hill, one mile, and one day at a time. You've got this!”
