Join me to support kids with cancer
Hello everyone,
I’m reaching out to share an important cause that means a great deal to me. I’m supporting Ride for a Child, an incredible effort dedicated to raising funds and awareness for local children battling cancer and the families standing beside them.
This year, I am riding for Team Cohen.
Cohen, my baby nephew, was diagnosed with cancer at just 4 months old and endured 17 cycles of chemotherapy, major surgery to remove a tumor from his leg, and countless challenges during his first year of life. While his family was fortunate to have strong support, the reality is that a diagnosis like this can feel incredibly isolating.
Organizations like Candlelighters make a life-changing difference. They provide not only financial support and meals during long hospital stays, but also create a sense of community through safe, uplifting events, helping families feel less alone during one of the hardest times in their lives.
That’s why I’m proud to support this mission.
If you’re able, please consider donating. Every dollar goes directly toward helping families like Cohen’s. You can even pledge per mile and follow the journey through the Ride for a Child 2026 leaderboard.
Thank you for your support. Together, we can make a meaningful difference for these kids and their families.
