My Story

21 Sep 2025

Help Me Fight Cancer!

As you may know, in April 2022, I was diagnosed with Tonsil/Lymph Node cancer. I underwent took 7 weeks of daily intense radiation and chemo. Since then, my readings have been clear, and the future looks promising. (NED - No Evidence of Disease) Thank you to all who supported me in the fight. I am now asking you to help support the fight against Kids' Cancer.

This month, I am helping fight Kid's Cancer.

I am raising funds through the Great Cycling Challenge to help kids and support the Children's Cancer Research Fund to allow them to continue their work to develop lifesaving treatments and find a cure for childhood cancer.

In 2020, 2021, 2023, and 2024, I pledged to ride over 600 miles in September and raise $1500 each year. I met my riding goals, and you, my supporters, helped me raise over $9,600.

This year, I am pledging to ride 125 miles in September and raise over $3,000. (It was $1,500, but we are progressing.)

Please support me by donating to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.

Your support will make BIG changes in LITTLEs' lives.

Thank you,

Leigh
