My Story

4 Sep 2025

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.

Ok, Those are better words then I can come up with however they're painfully true. 250 miles on a bicycle is a small price for me because I am fortunate enough to be able to do those kinds of things that a lot of kids with Childhood Cancer are unable to do.

It matters nothing to me whether you pledge in my name or not. Just maybe by giving a little to the fund then more kids could enjoy those kinds of things that a lot of us took for granted when we were young.

With charitable donations down due to the high cost of the needful things every dollar donated to research is a dollar closer to wiping out out this stupid disease. Cancer sucks!

Thanks for reading this. Health and happiness to all and be cool.

“Hey Bill, on behalf of the kids and me we got to thank you for your generous contribution to help put an end to this childhood cancer thing that affects way too many kids. I couldn't even imagine what those kids go through not being able to have fun. Those kids can't even, for a random example, get a bunch of other kids together to pick apples and throw them at cars lol. Thanks again Bill. May you and yours' be happy, healthy and safe man.”

“Hey Jesse. The kids and I need to thank you for your generosity man. That's a lot of test tubes or whatever that we get to help fund the researchers with so they can end this stupid cancer thing sooner. Keep yourself and your family healthy, happy and safe. P.S. I'm thinking if you need a hand keeping those bears that you live amongst at bay maybe give Tommy Kramer a call I bet he could do it. LOL. Thanks again man.”
