Join me to support kids with cancer
This September, I’m participating in Ride for a Child 2023, which is a weeklong, 450 mile bike ride to raise funds and awareness for Candlelighters Oregon. Candlelighters is a 501-C3 organization that offers invaluable programs and services for children and families battling cancer, like Nathan. My personal goal is to raise $2000 for Nathan, and I’d be incredibly grateful for any support you can offer through a donation. Every dollar, regardless of the amount, makes a significant difference! Together, we can make a meaningful impact in the lives of children like Nathan and their families.
You can learn more about Candlelighters, and their remarkable work athttps://candlelightersoregon.org .
You can support me by pledging per mile, and following my progress on the Ride for a Child 2023 Leaderboard.

The internet connections in some of the small towns we stayed in was not great so I am updating everyone now. 6 days of 70 or so miles wasn't easy on some days, for example 14% grade climbs on gravel. But for the most part myself and the rest of the Candlelighters cruised through it. I am proud of the riding accomplishment and the ability to help the kids ( Hi Nathan!). Again, thanks to all that donated to make it possible.
