I'm Riding For

Niko Rogina

Just a little after hockey practice, Niko saw a doctor last spring, just a little after his 15th birthday in March, Niko learned he had osteosarcoma and needed leg saving surgery. Now just a little after surgery and four rounds of chemotherapy, Niko may be turning a corner. This is a tribute to this young man who lets his smile come through dispite fatigue and discomfort. Please help as I ride to save young lives in the 2024 Great Cycle Challenge.

My Story

13 Sep 2024

This September, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer! I gave away my bike, I entered a new decade, and I still talked myself into it!

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.

So 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 support me by making a donation to give these kids and their families the brighter futures they deserve.

Your support will change many lives. Childhood cancer can affect teens, too!

Thank you.

YOU HAVE SMASHED MY FUNDRAISING GOAL!

16 Sep 2024

Sometimes, I need more than 'Thank you' to express my gratitude for your help. So, I want to share a video where a researcher weighs in about childhood cancer awareness and your charitable giving. Unfortunately, the video did not attach properly to this platform, but you may ask me for your own personal copy.
