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.

We have finished the ride!!
19 Sep 2025Wow! What a great ride! Continuous light wind kept me cool throughout the ride!! God put several ladies in front of me today. I pray God fills their hearts and uses them ladies to do the work God puts them to. They won’t fail!
We Finished the ride!! Just remember God is not finished with us yet. He is building us day by day. Remember to also eat that humble pie even all of it if you have to! Our mission is to build up the Kingdom of heaven and how we do that is by getting out and spreading the Good News About JESUS!! He Paid It All!! I would like to know who thinks otherwise, so I can tell them about Jesus and what Price He paid for us sinners. He covers my soul in the cliff of the rock. He hold me in the palm of His hands. Believe it or not but God holds you to!
God bless everyone and let’s make it a habit of being Vessels for God to use.

Heading towards Roadanthe, cycling to Hatteras
5 Sep 2025Hello friends and family. Yesterday was a wonderful ride from KDH to Corolla Lighthouse.
Today our ride starts at Roadanthe and will end at Hatteras Islanding. The Lord allowed me to make it to Hatteras. He kept me nourished and safe.
God is with her she will not fall. Psalm 46:5
Count your blessings one by one and see what God has done.
Blessings upon you and your family.

Update. Even though I was plenty hydrated and had rehydrating fruits and electrolytes along with frequent stops to drink and eat the heat from the sun and vehicles still caused dehydration (electrolyte imbalances in my body) My muscles were all tingling and felt numb after the ride ended. I know when God puts me to something He will get me through it. He knows my limits. Today 8/6/25 I will be relaxing, refueling and doing light stretches to recover and rebuild. I also plan to stay out of the Sun. The traffic started picking up around 4 and not enough “sharing the road happened with vehicles cyclists and walkers(only a unmaintained narrow sidewalk for pedestrians and cyclists to stay safe.) I called the ride at the end of Hatteras before Buxton. We are half way through the ride!! Next week will finish the other 50 miles through short distances. Recovery is my main priority today through Monday. Always remember to count your blessings and give thanks to our Lord Jesus above first and foremost. Refocus, recenter.
One more note. As I was riding on the narrow stretch of biking path I continually felt God’s presence and protection surrounding me. Always ask, seek and knock. God will answer, you will find him when you keep seeking Him and for every knock God will open doors. His timing His way.
Recovery time!!!
People who have hope in the Lord will soar like eagles. Isaiah 41:30.
