Scarlett
27 Sep 2025
Meet Scarlett Dowell. She is the little freckle face cutie on my right. This was a lunchtime selfie when Scarlett was in 6th grade at Mendive MS. Scarlett is in 8th grade now, and recently diagnosed with skin cancer. I’m not at Mendive this year, but was so proud of her for coming out of her shell last year as a 7th grader. She is always smiling, and that always made me smile when I’d see her in the hallways. 😊
Scarlett also has Downs Syndrome, and was recently shown on a news segment for Downs Syndrome Day. It made my heart happy to see her on the news, and saddened me to learn shortly afterwards about the cancer. She will begin treatments in Vegas soon. This must be very scary for her and her family. I’ll be praying for them throughout this journey.
Today I rode for Scarlett. I’m sending positive energy and strength for her throughout this time. I hope the treatments are successful. You’ve got this, Scarlett! Stay strong! 💪❤️

Logan Wheeler
23 Sep 2025
Meet Logan Wheeler. Logan fought two different kinds of cancer beginning in October 2023. He beat Ewing Sarcoma in January 2025, only to be diagnosed with leukemia in March 2025. He was only 22 years old when he died this past summer.
Logan was from Solvay, NY. He played baseball and basketball, in addition to video games. He had his first job at 15 at a Carroll favorite, Twin Trees Pizza. He moved on to Camping World, a place he strove to make a career out of. I am sure the staff there miss him and his contributions to the company.
I didn’t personally know Logan, but I ride for kids and young adults like him all month. Thirty-eight kids a day get the dreaded cancer diagnosis, and that’s 38 too many. I rode today thinking about Logan and the family he left behind. He was far too young, with thoughts of a bright future ahead of him, to have had to fight two back-to-back cancers and lose the fight at 22. Rest in peace, Logan, and may you shine down on your family and friends.
