George T

Mechanicsville, Virginia

Where did you serve and what did you do?

For the last 9 years I have been riding my bicycle to raise funds to fight childhood cancer. Before that I ran 10K’s to raise money for a local cancer hospital. After my hips were replaced I could not run anymore so I took to bike riding. I was introduced to the Great Cycle challenge (Childhood cancer Research fund) foundation and I have not stopped yet.

How are you Still Serving?

Yes, every September is childhood cancer awareness month. I commit to riding 300 miles and set my fundraising goal to $20K

Why do you do it?

Lost my five year old son to cancer in 1977.
