On September 25, 2016 Scott Harrell and I along with Anna Seymour Knipfer and Mark Knipfer, are riding for Bianka and the thousands of children who have battled childhood cancer. Bianca was diagnosed at age 4 with a malignant brain cancer called supratentorial neuroectodermal brain tumor or sPNET mid February 2014.
She completed extensive treatment and enjoyed several cancer-free months with family and friends, but in May 2015 an MRI revealed the tumor had returned.
Bianca Kucelin earned her wings on July 29, 2015.
While Bianka's fight has ended, the battle against childhood cancer is far from over. Help me honor Bianka's memory, and all those who loved her, by supporting Bianka’s Pace-a-thon at pace23, a spinning event raising money for childhood cancer research.
Bianka's PACE-A-THON is a 4 hour Indoor Cycling ride to benefit Bianka’s Butterfly Fund for sPNET Brain Tumor Research. Bianka Kucelin’s spirit continues to shine brightly within our community as a source of beauty, love and strength. Her passing in July 2015 was the beginning of the Bianka’s Butterfly Fund, a Hero Fund that raises money for cancer research. Already, Bianka’s Butterfly Fund has raised over $35,000 in just over a year for research grants. You can participate in the Pace23 Bianka's Pace-a-thon by joining one of 23 teams for the ride on Sunday, September 25th, 2016. With your help, we hope to raise $10,000 ($400 a bike) to contribute to cancer research, raise awareness and honor the life of Bianka Kucelin.
