A wish that our grandsons, Seth, Cole and Liam never learn of this terrible disease and we never forget that Dad and Dawn were taken by it.
My Story
8 Jul 2020
August is almost here and I continue to get the kilometers in on the bike to get ready for Challenge. That being said, I am a little concerned about the current heat wave and am being careful to avoid mid day rides. 700 Km over 30 days is a challenge on a mountain bike, but nothing like the challenge children with cancer deal with every day. Clearly, the primary goal of the GCC is to fight that fight for them. I am blown away by the support of my amazing sponsors this year that will help reach that goal. Thank you , Thank you.

My Sponsors are AWESOME
8 Jul 2020It's still 3 1/2 weeks until the Challenge starts. You have passed last year's total already and we are closing in on the $2,500 Goal
That goal was set back in February and I was sure that it would become a dream in the face of Covid 19. You my supporters have looked past it and recognised how important this Challenge truly is. We won't stop until August 31st but, I do want to thank all those that have contributed and those that will yet donate for your dollars and your support.
The ride would not be worthwhile without it. Thank you

The 2020 Challenge
