I love cycling! So why not riding for kids' cancer?

Last year in September'2020, during the pandemic (I guess it was the perfect time for me!), I took part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer! I decided to ride at least 500 miles in one month. It was not an easy thing to do as my bike broke twice at the beginning; I fell over the rail crossing during the second week of the challenge that got me injured for about a week. But I didn't stop! I finally kicked off my 500 miles challenge to fight kids' cancel and save little lives!

Why? Because right now, cancer is the biggest killer of children from disease in the United States. Over 15,700 children are diagnosed every year, and sadly, 38 children die of cancer every week.

Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.

I've ridden 514 mi and raised overall $795.11 in 2020 through my challenge to help these kids and support the Children's Cancer Research Fund to allow them to continue their work to develop lifesaving treatments and find a cure for childhood cancer.

This year'2021, I couldn't participate because of my tight schedule. But I hope to continue my support for these kids the brighter futures they deserve.
