My Story

2 Aug 2026

THello everyone,

This month, I am participating for the ninth time in the Great Cycle Challenge. As before, I am raising money to fight kids' cancer. This year, I am focusing on two key elements of cancer research. Every day, scientists are exploring the MYSTERY of cancer and making incremental advancements in the DISCOVERY of treatments and cures. There is still much to do, but every dollar raised helps with this research. As of last year, you have helped me raise over $25,000!

I will be biking to recognized centres of DISCOVERY - local libraries. Specifically, I will visit all 33 branches of the Ottawa Public Library. At each stop, I would like to take out a book. You can help me choose which book to borrow. When you make your donation, please add a comment and recommend a MYSTERY novel. By the end of the month, I will have visited each branch and taken out 33 books to read. Please help me reach my fund raising goal this year, and also contribute to my reading list. You can make a donation and see what others have recommended on my GCC page below.

For those wishing to wait until the Matched Donation day (aka Kick Cancer's Butt Day), I will let you know once I receive word on the date.
