My Story

27 Aug 2024

This September, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge for my 3rd year 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.

As a cancer survivor myself, the more children I can help beat, or even avoid, this disease, the better. 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.

Thank you.

Tom
