My Story
This September, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge, but for me, this is more than just a bike ride. It’s a victory lap.
In high school, at an age when it's rarely seen, I was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). The odds were stacked against me, and frankly, I was lucky to survive. I am here today because of the life-saving research that gave me a fighting chance when I needed it most.
But not every child gets to be one of the lucky ones. Cancer is still the #1 killer of kids from disease. They deserve the same chance I got—a chance to grow up.
That is why I am raising funds through my challenge. I want to help the Children's Cancer Research Fund create more miracles. Please support my ride and give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.
Your support will change little lives.
Thank you,
~Josh 🖖🏻

The Results Are In, and... WOW!
11 Sep 2025I'm absolutely speechless. I just received an update from the Great Cycle Challenge, and the news is bigger than I could have ever imagined.
On "Kick Cancer's Butt Day," riders, donors, and supporters from all across the country came together to raise a staggering $1,850,036 to fight kids' cancer. That's not a typo. Over $1.85 million in a single day.
The day was so massive that we completely blew past the initial $1.5 million matching donation pool! The response was so incredible that the matched funds were shared proportionally among all the riders.
Because of this amazing collective effort, $276.40 was added to our fundraising page, bringing our total to $617 raised so far! It's incredibly humbling to know that our little community here played a part in such a monumental day for these kids.
I'm still pedaling hard, with 16.8 miles of my 200-mile goal completed. Knowing that we have this incredible nationwide momentum behind us makes every mile feel even more impactful.
A huge, heartfelt thank you to every single person who has donated and cheered me on. Your support is the real engine behind this ride.
This amazing day proves that every single dollar and every share adds up to something truly extraordinary. We've made fantastic progress, but the ride isn't over, and I still have a goal of $2,500 to reach!
If you feel inspired by what we've accomplished together, please consider sharing this post or my donation page with your friends and family. A simple share on social media can help us keep this incredible energy going.
Thank you for being part of this journey and for giving these kids hope.
Let's do this!
~Josh 🖖🏻
