Help Kimi James
Fight Childhood Cancer

Hi,
ITS ME… KIMI 🤗
This month, I am taking part in Great Cycle Challenge and pedaling throughout September to kick cancer’s butt!

Why? Because cancer is the largest killer of kids in the U.S. – on average, 38 kids die of cancer every week.

This is horrible. Kids should be living life, not fighting for it!

Cancer has taken too many lives and robbed too many kids of their childhood…

And frankly, cancer needs to be dealt with once and for all.

So I’m pedaling 100 miles this month to give cancer a good old-fashioned butt-kicking to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.

My goal is to raise $2,500 through my challenge…

But I need your support.

Can you sponsor me to help me kick cancer’s butt?

Simply click the link below to view my profile page and make a donation:

https://greatcyclechallenge.com/Donate/Rider/1465875

All funds raised will support Children’s Cancer Research Fund to continue their work in developing innovative treatments and finding a cure for childhood cancer.

When we’re done, cancer will have nightmares… about us.

And when you donate, you can also leave a message on my page about how badly you also want to kick cancer’s butt.

Thanks so much for your support.
