My Story

22 Apr 2024

For nine years now I have had the honor of participating in the Great Cycle Challenge which raises money for children’s cancer research. I am again riding this year. The time of riding begins September 1st, but I can receive donations now. Last year I was honored to have had so many who helped and the financial goal was reached even before I started riding. This year I am trying to raise $1500. I will be attempting to ride 700 miles. At 67½ years of age this is a pretty steep goal, but it is such a worthy cause. Would you consider once again helping me reach that goal?

Thanks in advance for helping me once again. Pray for me as I ride. I also pray the total amount raised across the country will be a great help in treating the children who have cancer.
