I'm Riding For
Eli
You were not doing well around this time. I asked a favor from a friend to ask if the Golden State Warriors will allow Eli to watch them practice but because of the COVID protocol, they won’t allow outsiders to get in their practice facility. They instead just sent Eli a signed Steph Curry Jersey. This made his day. We almost lost the authenticity card and Eli had to ask us to look for it. He was already gone when we found the Authenticity Card. I will surpasss my goal for this ride for you my Baby Boy
My Story
This September, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!
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.
Eli died of brain cancer 5 years ago, one of the deadliest in the planet. It’s called Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM). He didn’t stand a chance. He didn’t deserve it. It happened so fast. I’m still angry, there are more people in this fuckin world who deserves to have that kind of cancer but not him, nor these innocent kids.
Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.
Eli’s best friend, Neo, is now in college, hoping to be an oncology doctor one day. 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. And one day to help Neo, help kids by curing their cancers.
Please support me by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.
Your support will change little lives. Your support will mean a lot to parents like me.
Thank you very much

“Thank you Kham. Thanks for the confidence, although I lost that kind of passion that I once had in cycling, in fact I lost interest in a lot of things but I’m hoping by doing this will kick start my passion in biking again. Atleast, trying to find a good reason to. Thank you again for your support. I’ll try not to disappoint. This means a lot”
