I'm Riding For
Everyone
For the last 4 years I have cycled for various children as an individual. This year I am so excited to have a team to cycle with again. Creating magic with Magic City Chorus.
My Story
This is my sixth year participating in the Great Cycle Challenge, an event that brings people across Canada together throughout August to "Kick Kids Cancer's Butt." The Great Cycle Challenge fosters a fantastic community of positivity and support, offering a great website and app to track your miles.
I invite you to join in the fun! You can register at https://greatcyclechallenge.ca/ and then find my team, Team Magic City Chorus Members and Supporters https://greatcyclechallenge.ca/teams/MagicCityChorusMembersandSupporters. No pressure friends, no major mile commitment, just get on your bike, on your feet.... and raise your spirits and some $. I am a member of the Magic City Chorus. A community of women, a part of a global group of singers that love harmony! Magic City Chorus is an award-winning women's a cappella chorus founded right here in Saskatoon in 1958. This group is a chapter of SingUnited International, an organization that spans the globe, connecting nearly 23,000 singers from around the world. It is a vibrant part of our singing community as it entertains audiences in and around the Saskatoon area. Magic City Chorus is a place to grow - as a singer, as a person, as a leader and as a friend. Women join for the singing and stay for the friendship and fun. This team is ready to have some fun in the world of the Great Cycle Challenge. I rode in previous years for our member's grandson Xavier (a superhero for sure), my chorus supported me and now I ride for everyone and hope you join my team.
Stronger together, supporting one another, and sharing the same vision.
Thank you for your support, donation and for considering joining Team Magic City Chorus Members and Supporters. We will sing and cycle for the Joy of Life.
Have a wonderful summer.
Building a healthy community,
Deb

What a day! Saskatoon bridges
12 Aug 2026I zipped over to teammate Karen's house to give her a hug and Great Cycle Challenge Jersey. We are blessed to have a couple of pinch cyclers in the house. Thank you Summer and Ken , you add extra meaning to being Magic City Chorus Supporters.
This year the Great Cycle Challenge is showing me what a huge motivator belonging to a community creates. Raising money to Kick Kids' Cancer Butt is powerful. Together we are creating an impact. Thank you for all the donations and for joining our Magic City Chorus team. It isn't too late to join or to donate. FYI, Kick Cancer's Butt Day is Wednesday (Aug 12), where all online donations WILL BE MATCHED up to $1,300,000!
