Sponsor Me

Welcome to my personal fundraising page! I have become a pledge-based fundraiser as a participant in the Red Balloon Run & Ride for Children's Health.

I am riding 72 miles to support funding for Children's Health Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders, a center near and dear to my heart. Last January my youngest brother, Jacob, was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Lymphoma--A.L.L. for short--and has been receiving lifesaving treatment at the CCBD ever since. Throughout treatment, our family has met so many other families with so many precious kids fighting this same disease. In fact, nationwide, an estimated 15,780 kids were diagnosed with cancer last year; and globally, every 3 minutes a family is receiving the devastating news that their child has cancer. I dream of a world where the best possible treatment options are available, and every kid survives their fight and goes on to have an awesome childhood.

Biking 72 miles is scary for me, but I'm inspired by the bravery of my brother and so many kids like him who are kicking cancer's butt every single day. 100% of your donations will go to Children's in support of livesaving treatment and care for kids just like my little brother. Thank you for your support!

What is the Red Balloon Run & Ride?

The Red Balloon Run & Ride is a family friendly fun run and walk event for participants and fundraisers to show their support for Children's Health. Held at Children's Medical Center Plano, this event is a great opportunity for friends, families, coworkers and neighbors to get together and support every specialty program, service, clinic and research department at Children's Health.

Everyone may not have the same cause, but Passion for Children's unites fundraisers through hope, courage, vision and determination to make a difference in the lives of children treated at Children's Health.
