I'm Riding For

Mason

This year, I ride for Mason. Mason was just 11 years old when he passed away from sarcoma in June 2025—one day before his 12th birthday. He was full of life: witty, brave, and endlessly kind. He loved WWE, video games, swimming, and making everyone laugh with his clever one-liners. Even after years of treatment, Mason never lost his spark. But Mason was more than a cancer patient. He was a beloved son, nephew, and friend—a bright light in the lives of everyone who knew him. This year, I ride for Mason and for those who loved him. For his courage. For his smile. And for every child still fighting.

My Story

14 Sep 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.

Going into September 2025, these are my overall stats:

Ridden- 14,008 mi

Raised- $33,580.66

My goal this year is to raise at least $1000 while logging 500 miles in the month of September.

Thank you.

James
