I'm Riding For
Callen McDonnell

Callen was 4 days shy of his second birthday when he was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). Just as he finished his first round of chemo, there was more bad news. He also has CEBPA, with a gene mutation that will require a bone marrow transplant. His condition is rare, with not much known about it. The Great Cycle Challenge helps raise money for early stage research on these less common forms of cancer. I am riding so someday, kids like Callen, don't have to be hooked up to bunch of tubes to pump toxic chemicals into their bodies. Callen is being treated at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. The researchers at CHOP have been recipients of grants funded by the Great Cycle Challenge. Please support my riding for kids fighting cancer.
My Story
This is my 9th year participating in the Great Cycle Challenge. First and foremost, I want to thank everyone who has supported me in the past. I hope you will continue that support and help me spread the word about this event.
I am fortunate that at 72 years of age, my health still allows me to cycle. I believe the activity helps to keep me feeling "young," at least young-enough to help true youngsters (kids), who's cancer may not allow them the privilege of living seven decades as I have.
While there have been tremendous progress in fighting pediatric cancer, it is still impacting the health of lives of too many kids.
So I am once again raising funds for the Children's Cancer Research Fund to help find a cure . The money you donate will allow them to continue their work in funding lifesaving research. Every dollar will bring us one step closer to helping another child beat this disease.
Your support does, and will, change little lives for the better - as I hope it does for Callen, the child I am riding for this year.
Thank you.

T-shirt drawing winners
7 Nov 2023There were two ways to receive an "I Donated to Fight Kids' Cancer" t-shirt. The first was to donate $100 or more (or $50+ on Match Day). That made you immediately eligible. The other way was to win a drawing for one of five t-shirts being given away in that manner. To be in the drawing, you simply needed to make a donation of ANY amount. The 5 names selected in the drawing were: Deena Graf, AJ Seymour, Cindy Hartman, Ted Webber and Bill Pratt. Congratulations!

New goal - make it to 9th place ($21,569)
2 Nov 2023I raised my goal. If I meet it, I will be 9th among the more than 27,000 fundraisers pedaling in the Great Cycle Challenge. It would be the perfect ending to my “To the Nines” theme this year.

Spirit ride for the kids
16 Oct 2023For the past three year's I have ridden with the "comfort" toy of the child for whom I was riding. 2021 Libby Kerr (Captain America), 2022 Wesley Jones (Puppy), 2023 Callen McDonnell (Lightning McQueen)
Yesterday, I rode with all three. It was what I call a "Spirit" ride, where a set a special intention for their continued path to a healthy, long life and dedicate the merit of the ride to their parents who have had to see their child fight for their life.
