As I get ready to put my bike in my truck after my 2nd ride of 2026 I find myself overwhelmed to the point I figured I would do something I’ve never done before and write a blog! I’m beyond grateful to have the support I have gotten this year as I have already beaten my donation goal for 2026 ! I started doing this in 2019 when I was starting a new chapter in my life and have had some accomplishments and setbacks since. Since starting to ride for Childhood Cancer in 2019 I had a few years with little or no riding due to life, medical issues, or lack of a bicycle , but this year it has more meaning as while I haven’t lost anyone to childhood cancer I do have a family member who has a son who had treatment he is a feisty little warrior! I have lost my 3 family members to Cancer in general, and have a family member fighting cancer and a friend fighting cancer as well as a friend who lost a partner to cancer, and I have also lost a firefighter brother to cancer as well! Cancer sucks and I’m dedicated to kicking Cancers BUTT and I hope you will come along and support me in this journey until it’s done and Cancer in every single form has a cure!
