My Story

7 Aug 2024

This August,, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!

Why? Because right now, over 1,400 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.

I was sluggish today while riding my bike until I heard my first donation come in. It was yours! It certainly gave me the motivation to ride further. I thought…. These kids won't give up, and neither will I. Because kids should be living life, NOT fighting for it. Thank you!”

    “Here I go again!!! It’s been 2 years since I have been on my bike. A fall took this exercise away from me and fear left me not saddling up again. But this year, on the same day I received the email request to participate in this year's Ride for Sick Kids, I also received crumbling news that reminded me why I started riding in the first place. My son's close friend has a 4 year old daughter who is now facing the fight against cancer. A battle no child should have to endure, no family should have to confront. My fear of falling is gone now, and replaced with determination. A sore body laced with sweat is nothing compared to what these children and their families go through. This year, I am riding for the Hudson's. I am riding to spread the word of the need for help, and to remind these courageous families they are not alone. Please help me reach my biggest goal yet by donating if you can, and sharing this post so we can make a change together. Thank you so much for your support.”
