My Story

25 Aug 2025

This September 2025, I am again taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer! I have completed 4 years riding the Great Cycle Challenge. This is my 5th year riding this campaign. Since 2021, I have raised almost $5,000. This year I want to bump that total by 50%. My stretch goal for donations is $2,500 this year!

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.
