Doing this ride in memory of my mother who passed away 2024 Mom donated every year to my ride.

My Story

12 May 2024

Hello everyone. I have done this ride for 3 years to raise money for SickKids to fight cancer...through your donations, YOU have raised about $15,000 for the kids.

I do it in memory of a lot of kids with cancer, my mother and my wifes mother and relatives I have known and loved, and many others that I know that died from prostate cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, and heart and stroke issues.

I am lucky enough to be able to still bike, run many kilometers and be active so I feel a need to do this for those who can't.

This year I'm riding with my mothers inspiration ...

Have a great 2024

Harry Van Hees
