My Story

2 Sep 2025

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

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.

Children should be living life, having fun, learning new things, not fighting for their lives.

2023 and the first part of 2024 brought me some serious health issues. I came very close to not being alive to participate in this event. I am thankful and grateful for a wonderful medical staff, the support of family and friends, and prayers offered in my behalf. After a period of recovery, and a stint in physical therapy it was my desire and goal to participate in 2024 Challenge.

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, if you are able support me by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.

Your support will change little lives.

Thank you.

300 - THREE HUNDRED - TREZENTOS

25 Sep 2025

I DID IT !!!! 300 MILES in 24 days. I am excited to announce that today, today of all days I was able to finally pass a couple of E-Bikes. Okay, they were stopped but in my mind a passing is a passing.

I love achieving goals especially this one. These beautiful, wonderful kids always have a special place in my heart. Cancer is a cruel challenge for each of them and their families. As I read their stories my heart breaks at the unfairness of it all and yet as I look at their photos I see smiles, and hope and I want to help even more.

There are six days remaining in the 2025 Challenge and...... I feel the urge to set one more goal. I plan on riding a mile for each of my trips around the sun. I'm going to pledge 1 dollar for each year I have been on this blue sphere circling the sun. It may come as a shock to many that will be 71 more miles.
