My Story

5 Aug 2021

This September, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!

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.

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.

Please support me by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.

Your support will change little lives.

Thank you.

30 miles so far!

10 Sep 2025

I know, thirty miles isn't much, but it's the best I can do right now. When I get used to my chemotherapy, I'll be able to ride further and faster. I really like to ride fast! In fact, I can't remember a time when I didn't love going fast on my bike!

this time it's very personal.

29 Aug 2025

I've been working on getting my bike in excellent condition for the ride. I'm going to have to start slow since my chemotherapy treatments are not helping with my energy levels or strength. Nevertheless, I will complete this challenge for the children who have to undergo chemotherapy, and all of the children who fight cancer.

This time, it's very personal. This time, I understand a little bit of what these brave children go through, and it breaks my heart.
