I'm Riding For

Steve “the Goalie”

This year I will ride for my friend Steve and his wife Janet and family. I played hockey with Steve for many years and he lived around the corner. We went to the same church, our kids went to the same school. Last year Steve was diagnosed with Glioblastoma brain cancer. Steve, along with the help of Hamilton Health Sciences Hospital fought this cancer as much as possible until he finally succumbed. I’m riding in your memory Steve, Rest in Peace.

My Story

8 Aug 2026

My father was taken way too early to cancer. Other relatives and friends have also lost the fight to cancer and some continue to endure.

CANCER SUCKS!

KIDS’ CANCER REALLY SUCKS!

It has almost become natural to lose a parent to cancer, but to me, it’s almost unthinkable to lose a child to cancer.

Will you please support this cause and support my efforts to make this a success. Peace.

Thanks

Jack

Final Day of August 2026 Campaign but…

31 Aug 2026

Good morning, today is the final day of the Great Cycle Challenge for 2026. I want to thank all my donors for generously supporting my cause. Due to some rain and reactions with my medication, I wasn’t able yet to complete the 500 km. I will complete them this week in a final ride once I find time between work, travel and weather. Thank you all for supporting this cause, it means so much to me. You guys are the BEST. Cheers!

Granddaughter Maya does 40km with Opa

16 Aug 2026

My granddaughter Maya was a REAL trooper today. She woke up with a head cold but wanted to ride. I ignored her until she showed up at our house! So after waiting for me to wash the cars, we rode to Stoney Creek Confederation Park. We circled the park and then headed back and went out to Guelph line. Then zig-zagged back to Brant and home for 40km. Her longest ride to date.

Support Jacquie and her kids if you haven’t donated yet.
