I'm Riding For
Branden Winters and Suzanne Kidwell
My best friend, Branden Winters fought a long hard battle with cancer, and passed away a few years ago. He was a real warrior who didn’t go down without a fight. I continue to ride in memory of him, and know that he would want every child to have a fighting chance to beat cancer. I am also riding this year for a good friend who was like a mother to me, Suzanne Kidwell. She has given so much to so many kids with her amazing kindness, knowledge, wisdom and strong spirit. She recently passed away last year and fought a long and hard battle. I can’t express in words how much I hate cancer, and I hope to someday see it completely gone from this world. I wanted to nominate riding for her in memory as well. She is such an amazing human, and was such a perfect example on being a loving and giving persons. I know she would want others to have a fighting chance against this disease, and I know she is up there rooting us all on to raise some money to beat cancer. As long as I have air in my lungs and can continue using my body to ride, I will continue to ride and raise money for these kids, and I pray that they all have a fighting chance to kick cancer in the teeth!! We Ride!!!
My Story
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.
