I'm Riding For

Pat Rasmussen

Pat Rasmussen

Pat made her journey home October 2022 after 3 bouts with cancer. We have been friends for over 35 years and she jumped right in when I started riding in 2019. Pat always gave everything within her to others, rarely taking anything for herself. She was a fighter, a true friend, and a loving individual. I am truly blessed to have had her in my life, within my tight circle of friends! This year will be hard riding without her, but we will do it for her! I know that spiritually Pat will be with us on every ride!! Love you Pat!! <3

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.

Sherrilyn
