My Story

5 Sep 2025

This year will be my 8th year in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kid’s cancer. And I am very proud to again have my great grandkids, Otto and Marie Watt, on my team…and carry on my legacy.

Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.

Your support will change little lives.

Thank you.
