POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

472 miles of riding and 18,642 feet of climbing for the kids 💛🎗️

I am so thankful for this incredible group of people I had the pleasure to ride with. Their dedication, determination and grit is incredible. We shared stories, tears (good and bad), a lot of Culvers meals, and a heck of a lot of miles together.

Saturday we were welcomed home to St. Charles by friends, family, and @calsangels recipients and families. We had the honor of being led into town by Michael, who at just the age of 12, has already had 5 relapses of HR Neuroblastoma.

Over the course of the 5 days, we heard from families, survivors, siblings, parents, and children themselves sharing the real and raw stories of their journey. These kids are incredibly tough and they deserve so much more than the treatment that is out there.

We rode every mile for these kids, and while our ride may be over, the fight for more research for pediatric cancer is far from it. For the ones that survived and made it through, they were given a second chance at life. But for the ones no longer with us, we’ll continue to share their story and advocate for a future with better treatments, better research, and fewer goodbyes.

Please consider donating at the link in my bio. 100% of donations go directly toward pediatric cancer research 💛🎗️🪽

And a huge thank you to everyone who has followed along, donated, and prayed over us this past week 🫶🏼

It’s more than just a ride… 🚲🎗️💛

Our CUREage riders are getting ready to roll out for day 3 of their 5 day, 450+ mile journey. Please help us to cheer them on as they continue to ride for the kids!

Did you know only 4% of federal funding is allocated towards pediatric cancer research? This group is helping fill that 96% with all donations going directly toward helping fund new research so we can get better treatments for our kids.

CUREage Ride Day Two Update 🎗️

The team completed back-to-back 100 mile days, putting in 105 miles today for Eloise, Austin, and Brady.

We started the morning with a FaceTime call from Eloise’s parents and heard the sad reality of cancer treatment options for children. Eloise was born with leukemia, fought and eventually beat cancer, but her body was compromised and passed from a lung infection just last month.

Starting the morning hearing from the families gives us our purpose as to why we do what we do.

We rode from East Troy, stopping in Waterloo, WI for lunch and a tour at @trekbikes headquarters. We then went on our way, wind at our backs, and climbing the first of a few brutal climbs over the next few days, ending the day with over 4,000ft of elevation.

We arrived here in Sauk City, where we then had the opportunity to hear from fellow rider, Brian King, who lost his son Austin (who we were riding for today) at the age of 13. We also got to hear from riders who are friends of Brady, as they shared his current battle and have joined this ride for him.

We’re reminded today that it’s a priveledge to be tired from the things we chose to do, because these kids never had a chance to choose. We ride for them, and to make up for the lack of federal funding for pediatric cancer.

We hope you’ll help us in our goal to bring better research and treatments to these kids so we don’t have to hear from any more families that had to say goodbye.

CUREage Ride Day One Update🎗️

Today we rode for Cal, Ava, Madi and Connor. We rolled out from @luriechildrens in Chicago, IL this morning, rode up the lakefront, had lunch with Connor and his family. He got to show off his ATV and escort us back on our way. We finished our 101 mile ride today in East Troy, WI.

Each day, we’re riding for the kids. Each day, we’re raising money to help fund research. And with only 4% of federal funding allocated to pediatric cancer research, we hope YOU will join US in being the missing 96%.

Our kids deserve more 💛🎗️

This September, @teamcalsangels is hitting the road for the 7th annual CUREage ride in an effort to bring hope to the families and children battling cancer.

This year, Team AGO is riding in memory of Ava Georgia Olson; a spunky, charismatic little girl who lost her battle with DIPG at just 9 years old. She was a daughter, a sister, a cousin and a friend.

We ride and we fundraise because children like Ava deserve more than 4% of federal cancer funding.

If you’re able to help join the fight, please consider donating at the link in our bio 🎗️

All donations raised goes directly toward pediatric cancer research.

In 2022, I had joined the @calsangels crew on a charity ride from Mackinaw City, MI to St. Charles, IL. 755 miles of riding with over $550,000 raised. At the time, I had no idea what I was getting myself into.

On day one of that ride, I had the privilege of meeting @kolson_dc and hearing his story. On November 3, 2016, Ken’s daughter Ava was diagnosed with DIPG—one of the deadliest forms of pediatric brain cancer. Just six months and ten days later, on May 13, 2017, his family said goodbye to her earthly presence. She was only nine years old.

We visited Ava’s grave at the end of that first day (mile 125 of the day).

My heart broke for a young girl whose life was taken from her way too soon. A girl who never had the chance to go to a high school dance with her friends, learn to drive, go off to college, or cheer on her brother and dad as they finish a full Ironman.

This September, I’m honored to ride with Team AGO (Ava Georgia Olson) in the 7th annual CUREage Ride (my 3rd), raising funds for groundbreaking pediatric cancer research.

This ride is for Ava, and for every child like her whose story ended too soon. It’s for families like the Olsons, who carry a grief most of us can’t imagine. And it’s for the kids still fighting today, and the survivors who made it to the other side.

Every mile we ride, and every dollar we raise, brings us closer to a future with fewer goodbyes like the one the Olson family had to say.

In the years since that first ride, I’ve had the privilege of growing closer with Ken and his family, watching them carry Ava’s memory forward with so much strength, and getting to call them friends along the way. Riding alongside them this September means even more because of that.

Ava Georgia Olson would have turned 19 today.

Today, on Ava’s birthday, instead of candles and cake, we’re asking for you to join us in the continued fight by donating $19 in Ava’s memory.

WHAT IS #dipg?
Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma is a #tumor found in the pons,
inside the brain stem. The pons controls critical functions such as balance, eyesight, coordination, swallowing, and breathing.
Due to its location and typical tumor formation, this cancer is essentially INOPERABLE!
BRAIN TUMORS are the LEADING
CAUSE of cancer related DEATHS in children under age 10.
DIPG has a survival rate of 1%

Just no words...
Join us as we raise funds for DIPG on November 2nd
