Looking for a fun way to promote your fundraising and celebrate your ride this August?

I've been creating custom, personalized Great Cycle Challenge accessories for fellow GCC riders, including:

πŸ… Personalized Wooden Moving Medal (with moving gears & spinning wheels)

πŸ… Personalized 3D Printed Finisher Medal

🚲 Personalized Bike License Plate with your GCC QR Code

πŸ“± Personalized NFC Keychain that opens your GCC page with a tap

πŸ–₯️ Personalized Desk Display with QR Code & NFC for work, events, or your fundraising table

Each item is customized with your own Great Cycle Challenge fundraising page, making it easy for supporters to find and donate.

πŸ’™ All donations are made directly through my Great Cycle Challenge fundraising page, helping support SickKids Foundation and kids fighting cancer.

πŸ“ Free local pickup is available in the Waterloo Region, or I can ship anywhere in Canada (shipping extra).

If you're interested, send me a message and I'd be happy to help create something personalized for your ride.

Together, let's help more kids beat cancerβ€”one ride, one donation, and one rider at a time. πŸš΄πŸ’›

πŸš΄β€β™‚οΈ Calling All Great Cycle Challenge Riders! πŸš΄β€β™€οΈ

If you're attending KW Comic Con this weekend, be sure to stop by Booth A-33 and say hello! I'll be there representing White Owl Wands, creating handcrafted magic wands and supporting an incredible cause.

As part of my ongoing commitment to the Great Cycle Challenge, I'm offering a special opportunity exclusively for fellow GCC riders:

⭐ Make a $25 donation to my Great Cycle Challenge fundraising page and you'll receive:

- An entry into a draw to win one of our handcrafted Core Wands

- A personalized Great Cycle Challenge NFC keychain, customized for you

Every dollar raised helps fight kids' cancer and supports families facing one of life's toughest challenges.

Whether you're a seasoned GCC rider or participating for the first time, I'd love to meet you, talk cycling, and share our passion for making a difference.
