GCC 2020

Another cycling goal met, GCC 2020!!

Last year, I participated in my first Great Cycle Challenge. I rode 863 mi raising $1,442.04. This year, I am keeping the same goal of 500 miles which I plan on surpassing, but I am raising my goal to $2,500. Though COVID has had a detrimental effect on a lot of plans, mental health, and our way of life, I do not believe anyone has a grip on what the kids, or adults, and their families go through with cancer treatments unless you live through it. Everyday, they fight, and I want to join them in their fight by raising money annually through cycling ALOT of miles. I would love it if others joined me in cycling through signing up for this challenge. It's a great way to drop some of those quarantine pounds. If you can join the GCC, please do so!!! If you cannot, please consider making a donation to my page. Scan or click / copy and paste the link. Also, if you could please share my page on yours, I would truly appreciate it.

My motivation for riding!!

I am riding for my sister Dawn who was born with a tumor in her stomach, and turned out to be a great sister, a great mother to her children, and a great teacher inspiring many more generations. I am also riding for my mother-in-law, Barbara, who suffered cancer later in her life, has shared many other’s battles with cancer, but has maintained a great smiling attitude through these battles and keeps me motivated to do more. This year, I am concentrating my rides on my late Aunt Karolene. She died very young of Lukemia, and was buried at Oak Hills Burial Park in Lakeland, FL, 2/19/75. Block 130, Lot 3, Space 4. I will end my 500 mile ride at her grave site and lay flowers this year, and every year I participate from now on. I was not alive back when she passed, but I am loving my family more and more in these dark times. We will see each other through and there is a bright light on the other side. Keep the faith. GOD bless everyone.
