My Story

22 Sep 2026

This October, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!

Children’s cancer is something that thankfully, I do not have personal experience with. I do however, know how much I love my children and can only imagine how hard it would be if their health were ever in question. What I do know is how to do is ride bikes, so with that in mind I’m riding in October to do what I can to help beat cancer.

This year marks 8 years of GCC and, thanks to your generous support over the years, over $5000 raised! You have my heartfelt thanks for all the support over the years, and I hope to make it another great year for a great cause.

As Socrates said, the greatness of a society is achieved when old men plant trees whose shade they may not make use of.

Do something great and help those who you may never know, but know need your help anyway.
