Riding in Memory of My Mother, Fighting for a Cure

This year marks my eighth year participating in the Great Cycle Challenge, and I am riding in memory of my mother, who passed away from cancer at a very young age after a long and painful battle with the disease.

Her fight with cancer is something I will never forget. I know firsthand the pain that cancer brings not only to those who are fighting the disease, but also to the families who love them and stand beside them.

That is why I continue to ride.

Over the past eight years, I have ridden more than 1,300 miles and raised nearly $6,000 to support the fight against childhood cancer. This year, I have committed to riding another 200 miles and raising at least $1,000 for the Children’s Cancer Research Fund.

Every mile I ride is in memory of my mother, but it is also for the children who are fighting cancer today and for the families hoping and praying for a cure.

Cancer is the largest killer of children from disease in the United States. Too many children are still losing their lives, and more research is needed to develop safer and more effective treatments.

I am asking for your help.

If 40 people donate just $25, we can raise $1,000. Every donation, regardless of the amount, brings us closer to that goal and helps fund research that can give children a better chance at a healthy future.

If you are able to donate, I would be deeply grateful. And if you cannot donate, please consider sharing my page with your family and friends. A simple share can help this campaign reach someone who may want to make a difference.

Eight years. More than 1,300 miles. Nearly $6,000 raised.

And I am not finished yet.

I ride in memory of my mother. I ride for the children fighting cancer today. And I ride in the hope that one day, no family will have to experience the pain that cancer brought to mine.

Thank you for supporting my ride and this important cause.
