I'm Riding For
Ben Mergen, Kira Mergen, Lauryl and Greg and Yvette too many friends and relatives.

Together, with research, we can improve the dreaded cancer club member's outcomes!
My Story
This September I'm riding for the 9th time in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer.
5 years ago cancer hit close to home. My husband, daughter and one granddaughter carry the ATM mutation. My husband died in December of 2022 of pancreatic cancer our daughter is fighting breast cancer and side effects of chemotherapy, and our son-in-law was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer and is fighting this wicked disease. On top of all this, our daughter-in-law's father and son-in-law's mother are on the cancer fighting journey. Research is the only way to eventually prevent cancer as well as find better treatments for our future generations. The mutations that make some (my husband, one of our 4 kids and at least 1 grandchild) more prone to cancers needs more research!
My breastfeeding support is a start on cancer prevention but not enough, I am a believer in continuing research especially on immune therapies, nutrition and other ways to improve recovery chances.
Please support my 200 mile challenge by making a donation.
As a caretaker, I bike for mental health as well as supporting this vital cause. Please help if you can, even if it is just being careful as you pass bikers. I'm planning on doing a driving/biking trip to see family and friends in September so I am hoping to increase my miles but only if this 78 year old body agrees.
Thank you for your support. Helping kids and their parents is my mission in my life.
