[scroll down = updates] This September, 2025 I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer! ...my 5th year riding for Liliana, soon to be age 8!...she's grown! See her age 6 picture at the left (or below).

Why ride and help? 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.

* History: Since 2021, our annual goals have increased and been annually CRUSHED exceeding $3000 last year. I've been forever amazed at the generous support from all of you!

* I had some 2025 movement deficits last winter, but am gearing up (get it?) to do practice rides this month (June) and then I'll set goals for 2025 (now set to same as last year).

Please support me by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve >>>>>>>>>> ...and THANK YOU to all for reading this !

Your support will save little lives.

A couple of reminders:

1. DONATIONS now, ahead of September, DO count;

2. My pre-September training MILES will be zeroed out by GCC on 9-1 to be fair to all riders;

3. please know ANY support, ANY time helps these little kids fighting cancer. THANKS. But IF you're following me CLOSELY, then there has been a day during September (announced a few days prior) called MATCH DAY; a national group has MATCHed donations made that day...so IF you ARE following me CLOSELY, watch for it and donate that day. Again, THANKS all.
