My Story

19 Jul 2025

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.

    “Hi Shanon, Thanks for your generous donation! I’m hoping to use this commitment to motivate me to get back into biking on a regular basis. Since I messed up my back and can’t run it’s been tough to return to a regular intense exercise regiment. No matter what, more importantly, your donation will help fund children’s cancer research which with the recent government cut is more critical than ever before. Thank you! Uncle Tom”

    “Denis, thank you for the generous donation! With all the cut to federal funding and grants there are so many shortfalls it’s almost criminal. I was talking to a professor at Michigan State and they have not received any federal funding since January. Sad times for our country. Hope all is well with you, and wish you the best! Tom”

    “Thank you for your generous contribution to my charity event, Todd. I hope to make a small difference in the fight against children’s cancer and not disappoint you by completing 200 miles in September. Next week I turn 73 so it’s a pretty good goal as I have back issues with discs and spinal stenosis. Exercise has helped keep surgery at bay. Thank you!”
