Jeanne Shearer

My mom @ the age of 16 was a prisoner of war in WWll. She endured the atrocities of war. Once freed she lived a great life as a strong & capable business woman, loving wife, mother, grandma & making changes for the better in other people’s lives. Sadly she succumbed to Cancer after living a good life. Cancer is no joke. With today’s advances in medicine and help of AI I believe great strides can be made toward curative solutions! Let’s let our children have the childhood they deserve not one with Cancer. Let’s kick Cancer’s butt!!

My Story

24 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! The research we help fund & the support of families is saving little lives! Please help.

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 for your generosity!
