My Story

1 Apr 2024

This August, I am taking part 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.

Please support me by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.

Your support will change little lives.

Thank you.

Ernie

  • My motivation …
    9 Apr 2024

    I started riding for the Enbridge Alberta Ride for Cancer in 2016. I manage to complete 6 rides since then. Last year, my Aunt Rhoda celebrated her 100th birthday on the same weekend as the Alberta ride and it was too important to miss. Luckily, I came across the Great Canadian Cycle Challenge which allowed me to ride in my home community - Wabasca, Alberta - a beautiful place, by the way. Over a three week period, I rode 672 km and raised 3300 dollars. This year, I hope to do both rides and collectively raise $7500. I am a cancer survivor myself. Lung cancer and throat cancer. It’s been ten years now and I thank all of those Doctors and nurses who helped me survive. And I thank all of my donators who’ve helped me raise well over $20,000 for cancer research. You’re all heroes in my books.
