I'm Riding For

Nina Cottrell

Nina Cottrell

To know Nina Cottrell was to know a person of profound strength and warmth. She navigated life’s challenges with a quiet courage that stays with me even years after her passing in 2020. She was a dear friend who taught me so much about resilience. As I take on this challenge, I carry her memory with me as my fuel. This ride isn't just about the miles; it’s about honoring a life that touched so many. Nina, this is for you—thank you for being such an unforgettable part of my journey.

My Story

24 Jun 2026

​This month, I am participating in the Great Cycle Challenge to ride 100 miles in 30 days and raise vital funds to fight childhood cancer.

While I am hitting the road for the next generation of fighters, my motivation for this challenge is deeply personal.

​I am dedicating every single mile to the memory of my dear friend, Nina Cottrell. Nina was an incredible person whose life was tragically cut short by breast cancer in 2020.

​Though she is no longer with us, her spirit remains a constant inspiration. By riding in her honor, I hope to turn these miles into meaningful support for children who are fighting their own battles against cancer right now.

Nina’s memory reminds me of the importance of this cause, and I am honored to carry her legacy with me as I pedal toward this goal.

​Please join me in supporting this mission. Every donation helps us get closer to a world where no one has to lose a friend or a child to this disease.

Thank you for your support!
