I'm Riding For
EMILY NAVARRA

I'm riding for my friend Elaine Cutrufello Merchant's dear neighbor. Emily sadly passed away from cancer. No parent should have to kiss their child goodbye so soon. Emily was only 6 years old and she had been fighting cancer for 4 years at St. Jude. She passed away in 2020, but her family continues to celebrate the beautiful wins that their daughter would have experienced--like getting ready for her first day of school. Like many parents, they post on social media and mark the beginning of the school year with a new grade, new teacher, and new hopes. Emily's mother does the same. Each September, her mom posts her photo on Facebook and shares it with the world. So many parents are just left with lost dreams. Please donate and support the children fighting with cancer. They're parents are blessed by your support. Let's help make sure that families can celebrate every grade this year and see their kids grow up and reach their dreams!
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.

Please help the kids
25 Sep 2025After I had rode 16 miles I developed bursitis in the left knee. I went to an orthopedic doctor and he recommended to ice it. He gave me a cortisone shot to help with the inflammation, it helped but I can no longer ride.
My heart is broken and I am not going to stop praying for the kids🙏❤️
