I'm Riding For
Jaxan

Riding for Jaxan this year. A local kid here in Pensacola. A couple of years ago Jaxan was diagnosed with cancer as a kid. He had to endure so many procedures, doctors and hospital stays. He was strong. Jaxan Strong which was a social media story we could follow along as his parents updated Jaxan's progress. This cool kid was tough and fought hard. Diagnosed with CNS Embryonal brain cancer 1/26/2021 and in remission since 11/18/2022. #JaxanStrong
My Story
This September, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer! This year I am riding to celebrate a rare thing where a kid showed so much courage and strength to fight cancer. He won! I hope my ride, his story can inspire others to keep fighting. I hope it encourages many of you to support me.
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.
Jaxan was diagnosed with CNS Embryonal brain cancer 1/26/2021 and now is in remission since 11/18/2025. He just had a clean scan again!
Your support will change little lives like his!
Thank you.

Gearing up for the Ride
15 Jul 2025Right now I’m riding to get in shape for the ride coming up. I’m also using this time to raise awareness and funds to reach my goal. Every year I set my own goal high enough to get a jersey. I set it double that number to push myself and to let others give throughout the campaign. Join me in this fight against kids cancer.

Getting Started for the fight!
8 Jul 2025It’s hot in July but I am back on my bike gearing up for the ride to fight kids cancer. I exercise everyday but have neglected my bike riding. Bike riding is a whole different experience especially when there is a cause behind it.
I hope you’ll join me in support to fight cancer for these kids! Stay tuned.
