I'm Riding For
Too many friends/family to mention. Most recently my daddy lost his battle in 2020
My ride is not only for the many children who can not but for my adult friends/family either who lost their battle, lost their loved one or are SURVIVING their day-to-day challenges with this bastard of a disease: called Cancer!
My Story
September is coming up and I'll be participating again! All of you know that Daddy died September, 2020 of liver cancer, just three months before turning 80. I have many friends fighting their battle; in remission; newly diagnosed; and yes, sadly some passed. All supporters of my goals! I ride for them and the thousands of kids who can not! My goals are small in comparison but this year they are also a physical goal for me with my own health issues. I am starting with a 100 mile goal but i hope to reach that before mid-month. We are expecting a heavy hurricane season this year so riding when it's not raining could be a challenge in itself. Please help me reach my dollar goal of $500, with a small donation if you are able. You can come back until the end to donate as often as you would like.
Why? Kids should be having fun not worried about their next treatment. 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. That is too many children!
I thank you in advance for your support! NO amount is too small (although I know they do add a bank fee I don't know how much)
May you be blessed with health & happiness!

Connie's Cancer Ride Update
19 Jun 2024Just getting registered and site set up for the ride. Officially starts September 1st. Keep watching for updates and ride photos. I would love to read comments of encouragement as I push through my month. My personal goal is to get started now and slowly work my way back up to 10 miles rides. I haven't ridden the bike since my open heart surgery November 2021. So all encouragement will be so appreciated! Stay safe. Stay blessed.
