I was reminded by my family how much cancer has affected us. It is even more fuel to the fire for me to work even harder for this great cause. Thank you everyone and please reach out if you want to get out on the bikes for a ride!

My Story

29 Aug 2025

This September, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer, for the 4th year in a row! I need your help. I have lofty goals and plan on biking from Maple Grove to Duluth at one point! Oofta… 🤯🙌🏽 but here we go!!! Gotta have those goals.

I am hoping this year I can get some friends and family to join me in some miles as well. My motivation in life is to not only help those who need it most but also to promote a healthy lifestyle by adding in daily physical activity. We are all human and are meant to move... and plus it just feels good! Donate, join me, and wish me luck in that!

Why am I doing this for the 4th year? 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. We ALL know people who are struggling with some form or another of cancer.

So, I am raising funds through this challenge to help these kids and support the Children's Cancer Research Fund, to allow them to continue their work to develop lifesaving treatments and help 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 and their families forever.

Sincerely,

Timothy "Fr8train" Frater
