My Story
The goal was $500 and we reached that in less than a day! Let’s go for $5000.
This September, my goal is to ride at least 150 miles throughout the month to help fight kids’ cancer through the Great Cycle Challenge. I don’t know any kids with cancer personally, but I want to do my part to help make a difference.
Childhood cancer is tough, and the more we raise, the better the chances for kids to get the treatments and support they need. Every mile I ride and every dollar raised goes toward helping kids and their families.
I’m also hoping to find at least one generous donor who will match $1 for every mile I ride—if anyone agrees, I will push to double the miles to 300. I work full time and have three kids under ten at home, this won’t be easy. lol.
If you want to support this cause, I’d really appreciate any donation, or just join me on a ride. You can track my progress daily starting September 1st. I don’t even have a road bike, I’m doing this on a mountain bike. Ha!
Thanks for being part of this with me!

Remembering Cole
1 Oct 2025Today I want to take a moment to honor Cole, a boy from Gateway, right around my neighborhood here in Fort Myers. He fought cancer with so much courage, but sadly his journey ended last week.
Even though I didn’t know Cole or his family personally, his story is close to home, and I want to honor his memory here. He reminds us why awareness and support for childhood cancer matter so much.

Remembering Lucy
1 Oct 2025Our fundraiser wrapped up yesterday, and I’m so grateful for all of the love and support you’ve shown.
I want to honor a beautiful little girl named Lucy, whose photo I’m sharing here. Lucy fought cancer with incredible courage, but heartbreakingly, her life was cut short.
Her smile, her strength, and her spirit continue to inspire. Lucy’s story is a reminder of why awareness and support for childhood cancer is so important.
Thank you for standing with me in this cause. ❤️
