My Story

15 Jul 2023

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.

Ric

“Wow Mark. Thanks for your generous and thoughtful donation. Not sure how much longer I’ll be in the saddle but seeing your gift really gives me encouragement. With all the cutbacks in childhood cancer funding and the removal of funds for mRNA vaccines, we are trying to fill the gap. Thanks for all the support.”

“Dear Conn and Pam, Seeing your generous donation touches my heart and gives a needed push to this month’s finish line. As I’m continually reminded, children should be playing and enjoying life and not fighting for it. I thank you and most importantly, The Children’s Cancer Research Fund thanks you.”

“Dear Ron, I’m getting emotional seeing these first donations. You and I go a long way back to a time when entire mornings were spent teaching how to search Japanese patent numbers. I say this because I first met you teaching that session back in Mountain View. Your support means a great deal. Thank you. Ric”
