My Story
Back in 2020, I was dealing with some serious foot & leg pain—one of those things that slows you down physically and mentally. Every step was a reminder that something wasn’t right, and it started to wear on me. But in the middle of that struggle, something happened that shifted my whole perspective.
A young neighbor of mine, son who was battling cancer spoke to me with a few kind and strengthening words that I didn’t expect. Despite everything he had been going through, he looked at me and said not to worry—that the pain wouldn’t last forever.
That moment stuck with me. (Till this day!!)
Here I was focused on my own discomfort, and this kid, facing something far bigger, was the one encouraging me. It humbled me, inspired me, and honestly changed the way I looked at pain and perseverance. That’s when I knew I wanted to be part of something bigger than myself.
Joining the Great Cycle Challenge USA wasn’t just about riding a bike—it was about honoring that strength, that mindset, and doing my part to fight for kids who show more courage in a day than most of us do in a lifetime.
That’s why I decided to ride & raise funds towards this very special cause.

GCC merch is in and it’s amazing!🤩
7 Jul 2026I’m beyond excited because my Great Cycle Challenge merch finally came in! 🤩🚴♂️
The new shirt looks amazing, and I have to say, I’m loving the new color! Orange has always been one of my favorite colors, so this year’s design is right up my alley. 🧡
I also got to personalize my new bike by adding the awesome Great Cycle Challenge stickers, and it makes me even more motivated to get out there and ride. Every mile I pedal this September is for kids fighting cancer, and I can’t wait to do my part.
A huge thank you to everyone who has supported me so far. Your encouragement and donations mean the world to me. Let’s keep this momentum going and make a difference together! 💛🎗️ #GreatCycleChallenge #FightKidsCancer #100Miles #RideForACause #OrangeIsMyColor

This year has gone by in a blast, it’s already close to riding month
3 Jul 2026Two months to go until the big starting day—September 1st! 🚴♂️💛
This year, I’ll be riding a dedicated 100 miles to play a small part in a very big mission: helping fight kids’ cancer through the Great Cycle Challenge. Every mile ridden is for the kids and families facing battles far tougher than any ride I’ll ever take.
As I count down the days, I want to take a moment to give a huge THANK YOU to all of my incredible sponsors for 2026. Because of your generosity and support, I’ve not only reached my fundraising goal of $1,000, but we’ve blown right past it and are now over $1,600! WOW! 🤩🎉
Your donations are helping fund life-saving research and support programs for children battling cancer. It truly means the world to me to have so many people standing behind this cause.
September 1st can’t get here soon enough. The excitement is building, and together we’re making a difference—one mile and one donation at a time.
Thank you for believing in this mission and helping me turn 100 miles into something much bigger than a bike ride. 💛🚴♂️🎗️

New season new bicycle
22 Jun 2026This year I’ll be dedicating 100 miles in the month of September to the Great Cycle Challenge to help fight kids’ cancer.
To make the journey even more exciting, I’ll be riding my new Specialized Diverge Elite bike. Wowza, right? This bike should make completing those 100 miles a breeze!
I’ll be posting updates and sharing the routes I ride along the way. Here we go—another year of moving forward, pushing the pedals, and helping make a difference in the fight against childhood cancer.
Thank you to everyone who continues to support and encourage me on this journey. Let’s ride!

Knowing we’re helping bring hope, strength, and smiles to these brave kids makes this journey incredibly rewarding. Thank you all for believing in the cause and standing beside me every step of the way.
