Becky, Mom & Dad
Happy to help with this great cause, my sister fought this as a kid and WON!
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.

“I'm donating in memory of my daughter who passed away 8 years ago. It wasn't because of cancer, but maybe this donation might play some small part in helping other parents not have to deal with the emotional devastation of losing a child”
