I'm Riding For
In memory of Arlene Mulder Papaioannou and all the kids still fighting cancer
![In memory of Arlene Mulder Papaioannou and all the kids still fighting cancer](https://stgccwebcaprd.blob.core.windows.net/gcc-web-ca/images/riders/riding-for/11093m.jpg)
This years ride is in memory of my daughter Arlene, who lost her fight in a battle against colon cancer in October 2018💔! While she was no longer a child, she was MY child! . Please help me to reach my goal of $15,000 or more this year. I’m trusting that I can count on your support again this year....will YOU be the one that pushes my numbers over the top? You sponsor and I will do the biking!
My Story
This year I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer again!
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.
My ride in 2023 surpassed my goal of $15,000, so this year my starting goal is $15,000 and will be adjusted as I get closer to my goal. I continue to bike in memory of my daughter Arlene, and riding and fundraising for all those still in the fight. I am hoping that you will continue to support me by sponsoring. YOU SPONSOR AND I WILL DO THE BIKING! Please support me by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.
Please check out my previous years stats in the sidebar on the left bottom of the page....$108,000 and counting over the last seven years! YOU all helped me achieve that, and for that I am forever grateful!
Your support will change little lives.
Henrietta

26 Jul 2024So Pizzafest in Ingersoll has come and gone! What an amazing event this turned out to be! I had a table set up to promote GCC and hopefully get a few more donations! While donations were a bit sparse (most people had their hands full with pizza and a drink so no free hand to dig out a few bucks to help kids fighting cancer I guess), I made some very interesting connections there! As I was setting up, a fellow comes up and asks about GCC and my involvement and after a short conversation he says, you must know if my friend Zach Wells! Well what an epic moment to meet Darren Bedford from Toronto and learn he is the man that sells Zach his unicycles! And it turns out he is the entertainment on the Main Street for the evening! Then after the event was over, we met up and had an interesting conversation about GCC and I was introduced to his friend from St. Thomas who owns a business down there! More networking and the possibility of some fun stuff for future GCC events next year!

25 Jul 2024Soon it will be time to start counting kilometers. I have been counting $$$ for quite some time now, but it seems that things are at a bit of a standstill right now. This afternoon from 4 - 8 p.m. you can find me at the Ingersoll Pizza Fest on the main street in downtown Ingersoll. Swing by and chat about Great Cycle Challenge and our efforts to raise a lot of money to help the kids fighting cancer. Donations will be accepted on site, so everyone will be able to help make a difference in these young kids lives. All money collected gets sent to Sick Kids Foundation to help in research for and treatments of childhood cancer. Hope to see you there this afternoon!

21 Jul 2024Today was a special day….the last of four fundraisers ended today! These four fundraisers have helped to raise a large sum of money to help the kids fighting cancer! It was exciting to be able to deliver the prize package to Lynn DeVries! To see the excitement on her face was so wonderful to see. She couldn’t believe that she actually had won the package! Her husband was still under the impression that she was to pick one of the prizes in the package! I told him “no, it’s ALL hers”!
So her husband often kids me when I approach him about fundraisers and says I collect money from him but he never wins a thing! Imagine their surprise when they actually win this time! It just goes to show that you never really know whether you might be the winner! The only thing you can be sure of is that if you have not purchased a spot on the wheel you will NOT win! But even then you can feel good that you have helped in the fight against childhood cancer!
Once again, congratulations Lynn DeVries, and thank you for your continued support for the cause!❤️

Canada Day - July 1, 2024 evening ride
2 Jul 2024After a day of cleaning and washing floors and doing laundry, a ride was not what I really wanted to do! I watched the Jays lose yet another game, and then had dinner. I decided it really was time to get out for a training ride.....it's only one month today before GCC become REAL, and I have to ride the 400 kilometers I have committed to. So off I went, and once out on the bike, it felt great to go for a ride. It wasn't a long ride.....only 11.1 kilometers, but it's a start. Maybe this will also spur people on to get their donations in. In my memories on Facebook today, it became apparent that the whole movement is somewhat behind on riders, teams, and more importantly, DONATIONS. I'm trusting that as I continue to do the kilometers, YOU will help me to reach my goal of $15,000 for the kids this year!

Are you on the wheel already? You're not???? Message me to see how you can win an awesome package with a $1209.00 value.

14 Jun 2024I have been keeping busy with GCC things - mostly fundraising things! I’ve been out for a few shorter rides, but my main focus is always on fundraising as that’s what helps in the research and treatments!
Yesterday was a fun day where we picked the winner of the Golf Dream package! I want to congratulate Dave Boersma, who stopped by to chat and purchased a spot on the wheel while I was set up at Your Independent Grocer! So as one fundraiser ends, the next one is almost ready to roll out!!!! It’s a fantastic package with quite a variety of fun stuff in it! Like to fly, got it; like to eat, got it; like adventure, yep got that too! Be watching for it next week and then get your name on this wheel for your chance to win a prize package worth over $1,200.00

4 Jun 2024What a beautiful day to get out for a ride on this, National Bicycle Day. I went out for a ride, taking Oakie along to the highway and back. Then I stopped in at the house and picked up some flyers and continued on to bike around my town of Ingersoll. I chatted with a couple of people at Smith's Pond, who were fishing, got a donation, chatted some more before leaving and heading in another direction. Before heading home, I managed to sell another spot on the golf wheel, (you are NOT on the wheel yet???? there is still time to fix that) and then got home to see my brother had stopped in for a visit. We had a lovely visit - these are so important as there are just the two of us left now! Tonight I headed out for a bit in the car, and made a stop at another one of my peeps, who also came through with a donation for the cause. I am so impressed with all the people who support what I do. They get it.....no child should suffer from this disease.....they should be out playing and living their best lives.

20 May 2024It's early in the day yet, so not much has happened, but I just want to share with you all that the GOLFER'S DREAM PACKAGE 2024 edition is ready now. The weather is great, the courses are ready, and I have a wonderful package to allow you a lot of golfing this season. While the hope is that YOU will be the winner of the package, it will always be the kids fighting cancer that are the BIG winners in all of these fundraisers! Check out the details on the flyer and then hurry on to get your name on the wheel. This fundraiser will only run until June 12, 2024, just in time for the winner to receive the passes before FATHER'S DAY. Why not get your name on the wheel, for a chance to win an awesome gift for your father, mother, brother, sister, significant other, or just enjoy it for yourself!!!!
