I'm Riding For

Riding to honour the lives lost in my community and to celebrate survivors.

Riding to honour the lives lost in my community and to celebrate survivors.

Many people in my community volunteer to raise funds for cancer reasearch and for support of those in treatment. Annual events are held to remember those we have lost to this disease. I join these community efforts, riding in solidarity, with a focus on children and youth. In early June, my community gathers to share memories with luminaria set up to honour those they love and in August, I ride, thinking of the lights for hope.

My Story

31 Jul 2026

For the 6th year, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge this August to raise funds to improve treatment for kids' cancer. Childhood should be a happy, carefree time for children and their families. Cancer takes that time away.

New treatments are increasing survival chances for kids but can be discovered faster with our support for research.

The stories of children and their families in my community who have made their way bravely through difficult treatments continue to inspire me. I ride so all their journeys to wellness will be better supported.

More applied research in Canada will improve access to the latest scientific advances, diagnostic tools, therapies and supportive care for all kids dealing with cancer.

Your donation will be a part of creating chances for a brighter future for kids facing cancer.

I am grateful to everyone who is able to help me to raise funds to help them. Thank you.

    “Jennifer! Thank you so much for supporting this cause. Your help coming from the other side of our country at the end of Week 1 of the fund-raising challenge will stay with me as inspiration for the next 3 weeks. I know my fellow riders who live not far from you are finding the air too full of wildfire smoke to cycle safely. Lots of smoke here in July but clear lately. Fingers crossed for everyone! I hit 122 km of riding this morning so that bodes well for reaching my 375 km goal by the end of August. xoxoxox”

    “Thank you yet again for your support Chris. I had a happy coincidence just yesterday. I saw the young girl who first inspired me to try this ride in 2018. She and her mom were regulars at my library program when she was diagnosed with cancer. Treatment was a hard go but she is now cancer free after 5 years and enjoying her life - almost a teen-ager now! My hope is that there will be this kind of success for more kids and aduts too from treatments improved by research. In memory of all those we have lost, thank you.”
