My Story

21 Aug 2026

I am participating in my 9th Great Cycle Challenge USA to fight kids' cancer this September. I ride all year for the cause. So far, my sponsors have raised $54,527.48.

Why? 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. As Cancer Survivors, my wife Jeanne & I know the importance of fighting this killer.

So far, we have raised $87,551,290. Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.

So I am raising funds through my challenge to help these kids.

Your support will change little lives.

Thank you, Ken Groezinger

    “Alice Schneider, thank you again this year for your generous donation to fight kids' cancer. You have put me back in the Peloton Club and raised my sponsored donations to date to $53,754.48. I have not been riding for the last 3 months, as I got a tick bite on April 3, 2026, that led to bradycardia and a pacemaker on April 13, 2026. On May 16, I went to the ER with an abscess on my right hip. The ER Dr. put me on Clindamycin for 10 days that led to C-diff and on June 10th Staff infection at the pacemaker opening. They took the pacemaker out on that day, washed it then put it back at Rockford at MercyHealth. I was on Linezolid & Vancomycin until July 1, it seems to have worked so far. Praying it stays that way, or it has to come out and one put in on my right side. I don't seem to do well when I feel out of control of myself. Hope all is fine with you, Ali. Thanks again Ken”
