My Story
26 May 2020
This August, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!
Why? Because right now, over 1,400 children are diagnosed with cancer every year, and it's the biggest killer of children from disease in Canada.
Kids should be living life, not fighting for it. I was just diagnosed with bladder and prostate cancer and actually inspired by the courage of these little ones. Let us strive to eliminate childhood cancer.
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.

August 25th Update
25 Aug 2020After Sunday’s 100km ride I was up to another go, but not 100. It’s my oops ride I forgot to restart my ride, but I think I am only missing less than 5km. Forgot to mention I ran into some “Cops For Cancer” riders the other day. They used to come by the high school where I taught. Students would cover me with sticky tape and I would have people stick money on me.
