I'm Riding For

Amelia Shea Zimmerli

Amelia Shea Zimmerli

I am riding in memory of my granddaughter, Amelia. She battled leukemia twice including chemo induced brain trauma where she had to learn to walk, talk and eat again. Her fight ended when she went to dance with Jesus in March 2019. We miss her like crazy and want to support pediatric cancer research to help our little ones win their battles!

My Story

18 Aug 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.

I am riding in memory of my granddaughter, Amelia Shea Zimmerli, who faced leukemia twice with determination, joy, and faith. Research is needed to design new treatments that help kids survive, avoid difficult side effects, and negatively affect survivors' health for the rest of the lives.

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.

Melanie
