I'm Riding For
Kevin Nye
This year I will be riding for my friend Kevin Nye. Kevin sadly lost his battle with cancer back in April 2022. This disease has robbed family & friends by taking another great soul way too early. RIP Kevin. Thank you for your friendship, Jokes and "Irish whisper". You will never be forgotten. There are still many people always thinking of you!
My Story
10 Sep 2025
This is my 5th year riding for such a great cause. This year I will be riding in the name of my dear friend Kevin Nye, Kevin sadly lost his battle with cancer in early 2022. My goal is to raise $1,000.00 and ride 1,200 miles all in his name, please consider donating and help me reach this goal together.
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.
The big board in Time Square:
