My Story
This September, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!
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 the brighter futures they deserve.
Your support will change little lives.
Thank you.

Matching bonus
10 Sep 2026Kick Cancer's Butt Day raised $1,690,456 to fight kids' cancer... INCREDIBLE!
It's amazing. THANK YOU so much for your butt-kicking efforts for kids like Charlotte, Kai, Jasper, and Emma, and in memory of Lincoln and Kylie.
It was a MASSIVE day. We asked YOU to take action and you KICKED CANCER'S BUTT! 💪
You've given these families a reason to smile, and more importantly, you've given them hope for a cancer-free future, and the support they need to continue their fight to beat this awful disease.
For that Mark, we cannot thank you enough.
As you know, a group of generous donors was personally matching online donations up to $1,400,000...
And as outlined when we announced this amazing pledge, if we were able to reach the $1,400,000 limit, we'd distribute the matched donations across all your profile pages, based on a percentage of what you raised during Kick Cancer's Butt Day. This is the fairest way to ensure that everyone who made the effort gets the reward. 😊
But unfortunately, this does mean that we can't match all donations dollar for dollar, so you've received a portion of the $1,400,000 based on the total you raised. I'll explain the calculation...
$1,400,000 / $1,690,456 = 82.82% - so we've matched 82.82% of the total you raised on Kick Cancer's Butt Day and added this to your fundraising page total.
