My Story

31 May 2025

Hey everyone, Its that time again, to ride to help fight childhood cancer. This is now my 7th year in doing so, and last year we all really helped in this fight together. This really means so much to all these kids and anyone fighting this terrible disease. And, especially to me, for all the love and support I always get from all my family and friends each year. It shows how much you all care for this cause as much as I do. Personally, I have lost way to many friends and little kids from this over the past year. So, I am looking to all of you, my great friends and family once again, to please help me surpass or match my goal once again this year. I will be doing my part by riding 500 plus miles for these kids. They are counting on us to help them kick cancers butt. Thank you all for your support.

Why? Because right now, cancer is the biggest killer of children from this 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 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,

John Brunette (Clisto)
