My Story

23 Aug 2023

This August, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!

Why? Because right now, over 1,700 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.

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.

Andrew

My Challenge

  • Ride #20
    1 Sep 2023

    Wrapped up the final day of the Great Cycle Challenge with a night ride to catch the super moon over the inner harbour. Beautiful night for one last ride. Hit 2000km on my odometer as well, so a nice way to end August.

    Today was the big one. Hit the 100km mark for a single ride. Almost drained my battery looping out to Lands End rd on the Saanich Peninsula. Saw some beautiful homes along the water facing Saltspring Island. Stopped for a lite lunch at the Stonehouse Pub and then picked up some delicious old fashioned cake donuts at the Sidney Bakery.
