I'm Riding For
Bob, aka Sandy, Phillips
Sandy was an avid global cyclist & although he survived tongue cancer, the aggressive treatment likely contributed to his early demise, almost a decade ago, at age 58 . . .
My Story
For the 7th year, I am participating in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!
Why? Because right now, over 1,700 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.
I am riding with Team Sandy’s Sidekicks, in memory of good friend Sandy Phillips, who had tongue cancer as an adult. This is a special year, as 50 years ago, Sandy & 3 others (all on Team Sandy’s Sidekicks this year) set out from SK & cycled to the Atlantic Coast.
If you are interested in a tax-deductible donation, but please consider supporting me by making a $50 donation, either on line or by messaging me, to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.
Or, even better, consider participating yourselves!
Thank you & keep safe.
