Today’s 3 mile Echo bike ride was dedicated to Katie Hageboeck 💛
I’ve been doing my rides in honor of the people who have donated to my Great Cycle Challenge, but today I wanted to ride for the little girl whose generosity helped start all of this!
In 1979, Katie was just 13 years old and battling leukemia. She had saved $141 to buy herself a red 10-speed bike, but before she passed away, she asked that the money be donated to help other kids with cancer instead. That gift helped become the foundation for what is now Children’s Cancer Research Fund.
Katie never got the chance to ride that bike. Now thousands of us ride for her and for kids like her every September. 🥹💛
So today I added 3 miles for Katie, for Ali, and for every kid who deserves the chance to grow up and ride their own bike.
If you’ve been thinking about donating to my challenge, there’s still time! Every dollar goes toward research for better treatments and cures for childhood cancer.
4.6 miles were dedicated to my boss and friend, Mike Maginness 🚴♀️
I’m so thankful to work for someone who puts in the hard work, goes out of his way to support everyone in the office, and keeps protein snacks on hand so I don’t get hangry 😂
I’m grateful for the friendship, the leadership and the support! Thank you for supporting my Great Cycle Challenge ride and donating in Ali’s memory. It means a lot to me and my family, and every dollar helps fund research for kids fighting cancer. 💛🎗️

Yesterday’s 9/11, early morning ride was dedicated to a generous anonymous donor! 💛
3.57 miles to reflect on the children facing childhood cancer diagnoses and treatment instead of getting to just live carefree lives. 3.57 miles thinking about 9/11 and Charlie Kirk’s murder. 3.57 miles to pray, reflect, and remember God’s faithfulness and beauty in every story—even the hard ones.
If you’ve been considering donating, I would be so grateful for your support in memory of my cousin Ali, who died during her battle with osteosarcoma. Every dollar matters for the research needed for better treatments and ultimately, a cure. 💛 Thank you for your donation, anonymous!
Today’s 4.4 mile ride was dedicated to Deb!
Deb and I have gone through plenty of trials and triumphs in our 5–6 years of friendship. We were brought together by an amazing gym, Cerus Fitness, and our shared love of obstacle course racing. I loved racing alongside her and all the time we spent together at the gym.
She became a huge blessing in my life, even after moving back to FL. She is steadfast, loves Jesus and her family, she is strong inside and out, and she invests in her people and serves others.
I miss living near you in, CO! Thank you so much for your donation to this cause. Thank you even more for walking through life with me. I love you!
I just raised $250 to fight kids' cancer and achieved PROTECTOR LEVEL in the challenge! Thank you so much for your support.
