My Story
From Survivor to Fighter – Riding for Kids’ Lives
I've been riding for the Great Cycle Challenge Canada since 2019—seven years and counting. This August, I'll be riding once again to fight kids' cancer in support of the SickKids Foundation, giving these children a fighting chance to live life, not just fight for it.
My journey with this challenge began in 2019, shortly after I fought and beat colon cancer. That experience changed me, and I knew I had to give back in some way. My daughter convinced me to take on this ride, and since then, it has become a part of who I am.
Year after year, I've continued, not just for the ride itself, but because I know my story has helped others. Now, I ride for these kids—to help them fight, survive, conquer, and one day, share their own stories of victory.
How You Can Support My Journey:
There are many ways to be part of this mission:
✅ Donate – Every dollar helps give kids a fighting chance.
✅ Share my page – Help spread the word and inspire others to support.
✅ Cheer me on – Your encouragement keeps me going!
✅ Join the Challenge – Ride with me and make a difference.
✅ All of the above – The ultimate way to make an impact!
You can choose one or more.
Whatever you decide...
Every bit of support counts, and together, we can help kids conquer their battles and live to tell their stories.
Thank you!

2026 - A New Chapter Begins 🚴🏾♀️💙
23 Jan 2026Before we know it, August will be here again, and I’m choosing to get a head start this year—with intention, purpose, and heart.
I know times are tough for many of us. Life is heavier, and the weight is real. That’s why my ask comes with understanding: donate what you can. A little truly does go a long way. Every contribution matters, and together, it all adds up.
Your support has carried me this far, and I could never do this alone. But together, we can climb mountains—one helping hand, one pedal stroke, one act of kindness at a time.
Every year brings a new impact. Every year brings another chance to make a difference. And every ride is fueled by the belief that when we come together for the cause, hope always rises.
See you on the trails.
For the kids. For the cause. Together, we can. 💙🧡
