My Story

1 Sep 2025

In today's busy world, it can be easy to forget about helping others in need. I am making the change today and riding to help kids with cancer. Over the years I have been lucky enough to work with many kids through all kinds of programs and outdoor activities. Just knowing children have to fight this battle gives me motivation to do something more. Keep being brave, we're here to ride for you and your family!

The Children's Cancer Research Fund that sponsors this event is an amazing and honest organization on the forefront of life saving cancer research, mental health services for kids and families, and financial assistance to those in need.

Here's what I am doing to help kids with cancer...

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.
