Once again, my sister Catherine and I are riding with Wheels of Justice to fundraise for the Center for Cancer & Blood Disorders at Children’s Hospital Colorado. Our fundraised money goes directly to primary pediatric oncologic research as well as mental health and wellness care for families and patients dealing with a diagnosis of cancer or blood disorders. As of 2024, Wheels has fundraised over $6.9 million and this year our goal is $750,000.
Every day children receive new cancer diagnoses. Thanks to advents in science and medical technology, survival rates are increasing markedly over time. Still, there's more work to be done to increase survival rates for all pediatric cancers - research is the key.
Yes, cancer can be scary and heartbreaking. But there is reason for hope! And these kids are not alone in their battle as long as we continue to support new research and the loving practitioners that deliver lifesaving treatments.
Please help us give kids the best chance at a healthy future by donating this year to the Courage Classic!
