My Story

11 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.

One Last Push for Stephanie’s Legacy

21 Sep 2025

We’re in the final week of this challenge! I only have 32 miles left to ride, but still over $1,200 to raise.

This year, my goal is extra special: I want to gift my superhero jersey to Stephanie’s niece, a survivor of the arch enemy we’re fighting. Every mile, every donation is in honor of Stephanie and her legacy of strength.

Please consider supporting and helping me reach this fundraising goal so we can make this gift possible. 💛
