I'm Riding For
James Fagan

This is my little friend, James. He just turned 7. 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 recently had a scan and it was STABLE! So he's now had over a year of stable scans, no seizures. He just started first grade, 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 10 years, I've ridden over 5,000 miles and, through your generous support, raised over $200,000.00. The overall fundraiser has raised over $80,000,000.00. Thanks in advance for your amazing support.
My goal this year is at least 25,000.00. I think we can do it.
So, it's time to saddle up again. Your support will change little lives.
Thank you.
