I'm Riding For

Greg Grimner

Riding this year for my brother Greg who recently lost his battle with cancer. My hope is to help support research to end this disease that affects so many and creates so much heartache for their loved ones. I still ride with my friend Gerry in my heart, and sadly need to add my friend Eileen, who also lost her battle with cancer. Over the years, too many to list, so I am trying to play a small part to help prevent this disease for future generations.

My Story

23 Jun 2025

This September, I am gearing up to complete 100 miles on my bike to take part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer! This is my 7th year participating in this challenge and I continue to believe in this cause.

I hope to play a small part to support Children's Cancer Research Fund and allow them to continue their work to develop lifesaving treatments and find a cure for childhood cancer. I am hopeful that this research eventually helps people of all ages, including my friend Gerry and my brother, Greg, and we find a cure for this terrible disease.

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

Your support will change many lives.

Thank you.
