My Story

1 Sep 2025

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.

Neil

My Challenge

Thank you all so much

30 Sep 2025

There are two charity rides I participate in each year. One in late spring and this one. This year I exceeded my fundraising goal and my mileage goal. Thankfully we had a dry month so i was able to crank out the miles.

I rode my last ride of the month today which was 17.3 miles. There are times I don’t want to get out and ride but when I think about who the ride is for, well ‘nuff said. I get out and ride. Ride for the children who should be enjoying life and not fighting for it. I hope daily that the doctors find a cure for this dreadful disease. Cancer has touched my immediate family, friends, colleagues, etc. that is why I ride.

So as I sit here fireside listening to some tunes enjoying an Oktoberfest beer, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Your support means the world to me.

Cheers,

Neil

P.S. the fall flowered in our pear tree was all Susan. I’m not that creative 😁🚴🏻‍♂️

Less than halfway through September

13 Sep 2025

So here we are less than halfway through the challenge and thanks to everyone who donated, I have sailed right past my fundraising goal and only have 83 miles remaining to reach my goal. I will more than likely pass my mileage goal as well! Never settle for less. Thanks to everyone for your donations, encouragement and well wishes!!!!
