I'm Riding For
James Fagan
This is my little friend, James. He just turned 6. He has been battling a rare brain tumor since he was 6 months old. He was on an oral chemo pill for years which kept the tumor at bay. He has also endured 2 tumor resection surgeries, proton radiation, multiple seizures and a stroke. BUT, he just had a scan on July 31 and it was STABLE! So he's now had over a year of stable scans, no seizures. He just started his victory lap in kindergarten too, loves school, and is improving a lot. He wears leg braces to help with his left sided weakness due to tumor and stroke damage, but he is officially off all his medications and has been seizure free for over a year as well. This is what the GCC is all about, fighting childhood cancer. No one, especially a beautiful, happy child should have to deal with this terrible disease. Any help you can provide will make a difference for James and children like him. Thanks.
My Story
No child should have to fight cancer. So it's time, once again, to raise funds to fight this disease during the Great Cycle Challenge.
During this fundraiser in the last nine years, I've ridden over 4,600 miles and, through your generous support, raised over $169,000. The overall fundraiser has raised over $72,000,000.00. Thanks in advance for your amazing support.
My goal this year is to reach 5,000 miles and $200,000.00. I think we can do it.
So, it's time to saddle up again. Your support will change little lives.
Thank you.
