My Story
This September, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!
I'm doing this in memory of my daughter Olivia. Olivia passed away on April 5th 2025 after 3.5 years of fighting cancer, and for so many other kids that have, who are, or have ended their fights against cancer.
Cancer is the biggest killer of children from disease in the United States, and because no child, or family, should have to suffer and go through the trauma that cancer creates. 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, and the lives of those that love them!
Thank you.
