I'm Riding For

Ride 4 Alicia

Here is a little more info on the incredible human I’m riding for… Alicia Fyvie was a brilliant young woman, daughter, sister and friend. She was a beloved member of her family, and the best sister to her little brother Jax. Alicia was passionate about music (in particular the queen herself Taylor Swift), pho, capybaras, her dog Hank, the Oilers, and appreciated a good cardigan. She was an athlete, playing basketball through high school and para/sitting volleyball in university. She was a champion for human rights and was always an ally to anyone who found themselves in a vulnerable spot. She always loved learning, and was studying kinesiology at the U of A with the hopes of fulfilling her childhood dream of becoming an occupational therapist for kids. At 16, Alicia was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma and underwent an amputation of her right arm below the elbow. Over the next 4 years the treatments available just weren’t enough and the cancer became more than her body could handle. Alicia passed away on March 23, 2023. Before she left she lived life to the fullest, traveling with friends and family, finishing off her school semester, (finally) getting her driver’s license and spending time with her friends, family and boyfriend Jason.
