I'm Riding For

Craig B.

Early in 2025, we lost my brother-in-law Craig. Cancer came like a thief in the night and stole from us the kindest and most gentle soul I had ever met. I have elected to dedicate my 2025 rides to his memory and will be thinking of him often when I am riding. My wife and I have both lost several family members to cancer and I hope that every penny I raise will someday lead to breakthroughs to prevent or cure cancer afflicting young victims. Peace.

My Story

14 Feb 2025

Once again in September of 2025, 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 the 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 donating to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.

Your support will change little lives.

Thank you.
