My Story

29 Jun 2025

For the fourth year, all through September, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer! Donations go towards the Children's Cancer Research Fund.

Why? Ill tell you why.

In December 2023 I lost the best companion and friend of my life to cancer. In April 2024 I lost my oldest childhood friend of almost 40 years to cancer. In August, 2024 I lost a dear friend, my sisters very best friend of over 40 years also to cancer. My father lives with CLL. My wife is living with DFSP.

So,

Ruby.

John.

Nancy.

Dad.

Letty.

This ride is for you.

Please contribute to help prevent cancer from taking away a life before it can be lived. The friends I have lost in the last 2 years at least got to live some of their lives

My father and wife - thank God - are still living theirs because of the developments made possible through medical research.

Ruby. John. Nancy. Gone. 8 months.

Dad and my beautiful wife, you are an inspiration and proof that medical research can work. Now let's help make it work for the kids so they can become adults.

Thank you.
