Join me to support kids with cancer
I’m riding to raise funds and awareness for local kids with cancer and their families. Every dollar pledged will go toward the mission of Candlelighters For Children With Cancer, a non-profit organization that provides life-changing programs and services for families facing cancer across Oregon and SW Washington. You can support me by pledging per mile, and following my progress on the Ride for a Child 2026 Leaderboard.

Another good week of riding exploring the Springwater Corridor Trail and various bike paths around SW Portland, Tigard and Tualatin. This will be the last week of longer rides, then rest, recovery and a couple easy rides the last week before Cycle Oregon starts Saturday 8/29. Thanks again to all you generous donors and supporters. You've helped me exceed my fundraising goals and helped Candlelighters in their mission to support children with cancer and their families.

Had a great time in Bend this weekend for a family reunion and managed to get in a killer ride from Bend to Mt Bachelor and back! 41 miles and 3100 ft of elevation! Great training ride for Cycle Oregon Rally and much more scenic than my rides around Portland.

Did a really fun ride to the beach from Carlton to Netarts this week with four other Ride for a Child riders. The 56 mile route with 3500 feet elevation gain was my longest ride so far this year! I've updated my mileage goal (estimate) to 1600 now.

Another week in the books. Longest ride this week was the Springwater Corridor Trail from Tilikum Crossing Bridge to Boring, about 44 miles. The generosity of donors has been incredible so I've increased my fundraising goal to $5,000. If you know of others that would like to help this important cause please send them my way or share the link to the donation page. Thanks for your support!
