I'm Riding For

Stephanie Stough

I am again riding for my niece Stephanie. When she was just 14, she was diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma and received her first year+ of treatments. At the age of 18 the cancer reappeared, so she went through another year of treatment all the while being a Freshmen at college. At the start of her Junior year of college (20 years old), the cancer returned and so she went another year of chemo and a Proton Radiation treatment all the while continuing her studies. She has graduated from college! Unfortunately her cancer has returned (4th time!) so now she is going to do TK Intervention and Immunotherapy. She has started this treatment. Your prayers, love and encouragement for her and her family are greatly appreciated! One of her favorite things to do is to view life from the back of a horse! Of course her new puppy, Agathe, also brings much joy to her life! Stephie, I am so proud of you and your joyful spirit. I am trusting the Lord Jesus to sustain and keep you. Let your Light shine. Much love to you!

My Story

7 Aug 2025

Dear Friends!

I am pleased to say that this will be my SEVENTH year riding and raising funds for Children's Cancer Research. Please join me on your bike or by donating to this very personal cause.

Why do I ride? I ride for children like my niece who is now beginning her FOURTH battle with cancer. Steph was first diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma when she was just 14 years old. She then had a year of Chemo. The cancer than returned when she was 18 years old and 20 years old with her receiving chemo, radiation and then last summer Proton Radiation, This past spring she was found to have cancer once again. She graduated from college now and has begun her treatments of TK Inhibitor and Immunotherapy. Life has been a challenge for Steph but she remains positive and joyful with her faith firmly in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Thank you for supporting us! Me as I ride my bike to raise awareness of Children's Cancer Research and Steph as she starts down the road to more treatments.

YOUR donation goes directly to support the Children's Cancer Research Fund to allow them to continue their work developing lifesaving treatments and to 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 young lives.

Thank you!

Rachel
