My Story

19 Aug 2025

I don't do many fundraisers, but this one in very important to me and so I am raising money for the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer for the fifth consecutive year.

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 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.

I know that there is much need and many causes to support right now, but if you are able I would appreciate if you can make a small donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve. While the pandemic rages on and we fight for racial justice, kids are still being diagnosed with cancer ever day.

Your support will change little lives.

Thank you.
