My Story
This September, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!
Why? First, I am a recent survival of rectal cancer. I am one month since the removal of my ileostomy bag, that I had for four months after they removed a very large tumor. I feel very blessed and lucky to have survived. But I could have not done it by myself, without the support of my friends, family, and doctors that truly cared. So, in gaining my muscle and mobility back, I had already chosen bike riding. It was my good fortune that the timing of this challenge was perfect and exactly what I needed to continue my journey and give back to the children and their families.
More importantly, I am doing this for the children. Because 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.
Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.
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.
Please support me by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.
Your support will change little lives.
Thank you.

Day 11
11 Sep 2026Didn't get out until late morning and it was just HOT! It was like riding a bike in a steam room, going to try and do another this evening when it cools off.
I do have lights, so I will try to take away all of my excuses..lol.

Day 8
9 Sep 2026My healing wound (from ileostomy reversal 5 weeks ago) didn't get infected, but got red and irritated from the sweating while riding. We just have to dress it a little differently and more often with the extra activity.

Day 7
6 Sep 2026Had challenges this week, but I will definitely log more miles next week. The rain the last couple of days and the humidity didn't help much either. Feeling better with each ride.

Day 3
3 Sep 2026May have pushed myself on the first day, and I had rode a couple times leading up to Sep 1st. Anyway, I had some cramping and lack of sleep on Tuesday night....and was convinced to rest my legs and reminded I do not have nearly all my strength back yet.
Felt good this morning though and went for a shorter and slower ride this morning. No pictures because I completed my ride before the crack of dawn. Got to test and verify my front and tail lights on bike , which worked fine!!
