I'm Riding For

Pat & Tim C & Tim G, and in honor of Scott

Pat & Tim C & Tim G, and in honor of Scott

Three of my longtime friends, who left us too early, will be along with me this year - in my thoughts and with my music playing loudly. And riding in honor of Scott, who battled cancer in 2022.

My Story

14 Apr 2024

I am back.

This September, I am taking part again - my eighth year - in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!

Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.

This year again, I am on Team Kahleesi. Kahleesi is now five and was diagnosed with Hepatoblastoma when she was only 9 months old. She is currently in remission.

Who am I riding for this year? In the past few years, riding along with me were two longtime friends, who passed away too early. We lost Pat M. in 2020 and then Tim C. in 2021.We lost another great friend, Tim G., in 2023. They will all be along with me.

I will also be riding in honor of another kid again this year, our son Scott. Scott started battling Stage 4 Hodgkin’s lymphoma in June 2022. He remains cancer free.

With your support over the past GCC seven years, we were able to raise close to $39k. THANK YOU!

My GCC goals for this year – continue raising awareness, funds, and prayers, while hoping this body allows me to ride a few miles.

Your support will change lives.

This is not just an event - it is a movement to end childhood cancer.

Onward!

Tom
