I'm Riding For
James Fagan
This is my little friend, James. He just turned 5. He has been battling a rare brain tumor since he was 6 months old. He has been on an oral chemo pill for the last two years which has kept the tumor at bay thus far. He has also endured 2 tumor resection surgeries, proton radiation, multiple seizures and a stroke. He’s still been battling some issues with seizures as of late but just started pre-k and absolutely loves it. This is what the GCC is all about, fighting childhood cancer. No one, especially a beautiful, happy child should have to deal with this terrible disease. Any help you can provide will make a difference for James and children like him. Thanks.
My Story
31 Aug 2023
No child should have to fight cancer. So it's time, once again, to raise funds to fight this disease during the Great Cycle Challenge.
During this fundraiser in the last eight years, I've ridden 4,214 miles and, through your generous support, raised an incredible $137,727.00. The overall fundraiser has raised over $40,000,000.00. Thanks in advance for your amazing support.
So, it's time to saddle up again.
Your support will change little lives.
Thank you.
My Legacy
Here's my personal impact over 9 years to fight kids' cancer and save little lives.
