My Story
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.
Nicholas

Blown away by the support!
15 Sep 2025With life pulling at me from multiple directions this year and month, I haven't been able to appropriately thank everyone individually like normal. I might still go back and do it, but inat least want to make this post.
Thank you to everyone who has donated to this cause so far! Special thanks to those who continue to support this effort year to year.
It doesn't matter whether it was a little or a lot, whatever you were able to give will be going to this great cause!
Last Wednesday, in particular, was Kick Cancer's Butt day, on which all donations were matched (up to $1.5 million) and we did great! We collectively raised $1.85 million! This matching boosted me across my own goal of $2500 for this year. Now I just have to make sure I get all my riding in!
As of writing this post, i have just over 260 miles left to ride. I've been forced to do most of my riding indoor this year due to time, heat, and my own personal health problem (mostly back pain) but hope to get out on the trails a bit more once it cools off again.
Again, thank you so much for your support for this cause. This is my 7th year, and hope to continue it into the future!
P.S. if your company does charity matching (some even do it for retirees), don't forget about it if you get the chance!
