My Story
3 May 2021
This August, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer! Last year I managed to complete 200 km just two months after a cycling accident where I suffered a fractured hip, pelvis, ribs and a collapsed lung.
I eventually recovered, but many of the 1,400+ children who are diagnosed with cancer every year do not. Cancel is the biggest killer of children from disease in Canada and I ride for them.
Please join me in this challenge by helping me to reach my fundraising goal. Together we will make a difference by helping to fund this lifesaving research.
Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.
So I am raising funds through my challenge to help these kids and support SickKids Foundation to allow them to continue their work in developing treatments and finding a cure for childhood cancer.
Please support me by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.
Your support will change little lives.
Thank you.

“Thank you very much Lisa, I really appreciate your support!! I’m really excited about this cause and love getting out there to ride. I’ve made a lot of new friends through the GCC community who are passionate about this. It was a long road to recovery and it really made me appreciate how difficult life is for someone with a life altering disease like cancer. For that person to be a child is so unfair and I want to help find better treatments or better yet, a cure. Watch your email for updates that I will post during my journey. Thanks again, Al. ”
