I'm Riding For
Mason Pare

Got your back! Healing juju for every mile!
My Story
This September, I am taking part in my 8th Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer! This is my 8th Summer of Healing, my way to express gratitude for the support I received when I broke my back. Riding was one of the main ways I exercised as I regained my ability to walk.
This year, I am dedicating my ride to two special families. Mason Pare is beginning a summer of treatment to kick cancer to the curb. Every mile is a way to send healing juju and support to him and his family. Secondly, my good friend had a cancer diagnosis this past spring. Early detection contributed to successful treatment, and Linda is now cancer-free.
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. I have lost friends and family to cancer and people I love are battling it now.
So, I am raising funds to support the Children's Cancer Research Fund to allow them to continue their work to develop life saving treatments and find a cure for childhood cancer.
Please support me by donating to fund research for these kids and their families to give them the brighter futures they deserve.
Your support will change little lives. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Peace.

Riding riding and more riding :)
22 Sep 2025Greetings, all you amoazing peeps!
I have been getting out almost every day to reach my 600-mile goal and am still on track. The weather, although cooler, has been great for riding. Our goal is to help the kids live their life instead of fighting for it. When getting the miles is hard, I think about the battle each of these kids faces on a daily basis. Sending them all the biggest hugs and healing vibes I can muster as I ride. Sending you all the best for supporting us in this effort. I promise to send all the ride stats from all 17,000 riders and their supporters in October. We have raised millions! Thank you for doing your part. Would love to reach that $3200 mark...just $6 shy. Do you know a friend who wants to hlp fight cancer for the price of a cup of coffee...Send them the link.
Peace,
Karl

Beautiful Moon this am
19 Sep 2025Greetings All,
The ride was beautiful this am, and I wanted to share it with you! We have been doing some amazing work together. I have ridden 378 miles, so I am on track to reach that goal. More importantly, we are just $6 shy of 0f $3200. We crushed the original goal of $2500. Nationally, my fellow riders and their supporters have raised millions! So thank you! Keep telling your friend and let's see how much we can raise. Sending all of you hugs! Peace.
Be well,
Karl
