Remembering each beautiful moment, cherishing her short time on Earth and knowing our angel is always with us, gets me through each day missing my great niece. Never understanding why but trusting that we will be together again. Her memory lives on.

My Story

1 Sep 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.

Here's my personal impact over 11 years to fight kids' cancer and save little lives.

It’s the beginning

1 Sep 2026

Well, here we are day one and I was able to get on my bike for a total of 14 miles done in two different sessions, but I did it. I did get a little scrape on the back of my leg, but my Peloton kept me engaged my foot came out of the pedal and it kept going around, but you know what I’m not gonna give up doing this for the kids doing this for the memory of my great niece Julia so you got me for a month and hopefully it’ll get me in good physical strength that I’ll continue on with cycling as part of my regular routine of fitness. I always wish for that anyway so here I am raw haven’t practiced in a while so please cheer me on. Donate if you can share the page share the blog let’s kick cancer‘s butt. 🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴🙏🏻

“I'm so proud of you Barbara, for all you are doing in this noble fight (FTK) for the kids. Today I'm donating because in my family, we always love our kids so much, for my Mom's kids, grandkids and great grandkids. We're all so close and so fortunate to have had GGBG (IYKYK) to guide us, love us, and make us all laugh, together and separately. Not for any connection to cancer, but because she instilled in all of us, a spirit of love, caring and generosity, where we take this fight to our hearts and believe no child should go through this type of struggle. We all believe in you Barbara!”
