My Story

1 Sep 2025

For Kelly and me, September isn’t just another month—it’s a time to ride with purpose. We’re pedaling every mile for children fighting to survive cancer with the Great Cycling Challenge.

No child should have to endure the pain of chemo or radiation. Many don’t even understand why their bodies are so sick. We ride for them.

We ride for the parents sitting bedside, trying to explain why their little ones can’t go outside and play, can’t go to school, and—heartbreakingly—why they sometimes have to say goodbye far too soon.

💛 Every donation helps fund research, support families, and bring hope to those who need it most.
