I'm Riding For

Dr. Sharon Krumm

I am riding to recognize and honor the work of my sister, Dr Sharon Krumm. She has been on the front lines in the fight to save cancer patients for over 57 years. She spent the last 31 years as Director of Nursing at Johns Hopkins Cancer Center. Sharon is continuing her work at Johns Hopkins serving as an assistant professor in community outreach. Over the years she has received numerous awards and recognition for her outstanding contributions in fighting for cancer patients.

My Story

19 Aug 2024

This September, one more time, 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

My Legacy

Here's my personal impact over 4 years to fight kids' cancer and save little lives.

“Thanks Lisa for your generous sponsorship. Would tell you that you need to ride with Karen and me in September to cover some of the miles. However think it might be more productive if you greeted us with a cold beer after we finish”

“Sandy, thanks for your donation! It means a lot to me. For some reason this has been a project that has resonated with me over the last 4 years. BTW why don’t you ride 10 or more miles with me next month? Can always use the company.”
