Carreiro & Jacome family members

I ride for those who have been taken way too soon! I especially ride for those in my family who lived with cancer, including my godfather, uncles, aunt & cousins. 💔

My Story

6 Jul 2023

This is my 5th year riding to FIGHT kids' cancer! I also ride for all the parents who have had to endure sleepless nights sitting beside their child's hospital crib or bed. I've been there!

Twenty-seven years ago, I was the mom sitting beside my son's hospital crib, watching him struggle and being unable to do anything to help him. Although my son hasn't had cancer, he was diagnosed with a genetic disorder that caused seizures which eventually made him developmentally delayed. This is why the children & families being cared for by SickKids are special to me.

Thanks to the donations I have received to date, I have achieved the title of "SUPERHERO". I'm not a superhero. My donors are the superhero! The SickKids' teams are the superhero! The parents' caring for their sick child are the superhero! The children undergoing medical tests, physical changes, etc., they're the superhero!

I want to help as much as I can. So, I ride! I ride, because I can & I love cycling!

On August 1st, the "Great Cycle Challenge, Canada" officially begins. My goal is to ride 1665 kms during the month of August!

If you have made a donation to my challenge - THANK YOU!! BUT, please ask your family & friends to give their support.

If you haven't yet made a donation to my challenge - PLEASE consider making one... any amount is gratefully received!
