My Story
25 Jul 2026
This September, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!
Why? 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.

Complete
20 Sep 2026My wholehearted thanks for all the calls, emails, texts and the generous contributions.
I finished the challenge today with 26.4 miles
Your contributions are supporting a great, honest organization for children.
Thank you
For those of you who were there in 1986/1987 doing sprints along that quarter mile on Blackhawk drive, the jersey makes sense.
