I'm Riding For

Linda Donald

Linda Donald

This is my long-time friend Mike and his mom, Linda. Growing up, many of Mike's friends affectionately called Linda "Mama D" because of her love and care for so many. Linda battled cancer 10 times and recently went home to be with Christ. It's an honor to ride in memory of her in 2025.

My Story

28 Jun 2025

This September, I am participating in the Great Cycle Challenge to support kids' cancer research.

Why? 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.

I am raising funds through my challenge to help these kids and support the Children's Cancer Research Fund, allowing them to continue their work on developing lifesaving treatments and finding a cure for childhood cancer.

Please support me by donating to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.

Your support will change little lives.

Thank you.
