My Story

24 Jul 2026

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.

Ken

    “A Very Special Canadian Adventure ❤️🚲🇨🇦 In July 2026, we had the absolute pleasure of meeting Ken and Catherine, a wonderful couple from Wales who were cycling across Canada to raise money for cancer. Our paths crossed at our campground in Lion’s Head, Ontario, and what started as an overnight stay quickly turned into a very special evening filled with stories, laughter, and getting to know one another. We shared our campsite, our stories, and plenty of laughs. Ken and Catherine enjoyed a well-deserved cold beer and Catherine happily enjoyed some marshmallows around the campfire! 🔥🍺😄 The next morning, after a hearty breakfast, they hopped back on their bikes and headed off toward their next destination, Owen Sound. We are so incredibly proud of them and are cheering them on every kilometre of the way! 🚲💪 Everyone is rooting for Ken and Catherine to safely make it all the way to Halifax. We wish them nothing but safe travels so keep peddling as Halifax is waiting for you !”
