I'm Riding For

Scott Sinotte & Joan Oosterbaan

Five years ago, I was introduced to the GCC by a childhood friend, Scott Sinotte. We were neighbors and classmates growing up, and both loved the outdoors, whether it was biking, swimming, playing street hockey, pickup baseball games, you name it. The GCC connected with me as a lifelong fan of bicycling and also as cancer survivor who witnessed kids and their families also dealing with cancer. So I followed Scott's lead and joined the challenge. The first four years of riding in the GCC were time consuming but rewarding. I debated not continuing the GCC this year, until sadly Scott and another dear friend/classmate Joan Oosterbaan (Buczkowski) passed earlier this year. Both Scott and Joan lived active lifestyles and had wonderful families with whom they shared their passions of outdoors and sports. I think of them often and will honor them as I ride this September. Please help me support the fight against children's cancer. Give thanks each day to those who have impacted your lives and make it better.

My Story

9 Jul 2025

This will be my 5th year participating in the September month-long Great Cycle Challenge. In the first 4 year's, I've been able to ride over 1600 miles and raise almost $36K. As a cancer survivor myself, it is an opportunity for me to give back doing something I enjoy. It is a way to honor those who supported me in so many ways throughout my cancer journey. Kids fighting their own battles, along with their families, need support too.
