My Story

3 Aug 2026

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.

Jane

    16 Aug 2026

    My ride on on August 14th reminded me of a children's book my three sons enjoyed, entitled "Fortunately" by Remy Charlip (see clip below of the book being read). Here is my version of the story...

    Fortunately...It was my birthday and I was super excited to go for a bike ride on the Confederation Trail to celebrate!

    Unfortunately...I found out my bike had a flat tire.

    Fortunately....my husband said he had another bike I could ride!

    Unfortunately....we got caught is a BIG storm with heavy rain, thunder, lightening and even large HAIL stones!

    Fortunately...Brian kept me entertained and smiling while we rode singing "Riders on the Storm" by the Doors.

    Unfortunately... we were so soaked and cold we had to stop and stand under the overhang of a barn.

    Fortunately...a wonderful woman and her 90 year old mother pulled over (in the middle of nowhere) and offered to take us back to our vehicle (driving 20 minutes out of their way)! We were very thankful for their kindness!

    And fortunately....we felt good about riding another 12 kms toward my goal of 250 kms.

    And fortunately...I have received SOOOO much support for this Great Cycle Challenge that it was all worthwhile!! Thank you!

    Brian, my husband of 43 years, has peddled every kilometer with me on the Great Cycle Challenge - both last year and this.🩷

    Just as the kids and families affected by cancer need support, so do the riders riding for them. Thanks to Brian for being there for me and thanks to YOU for your generous support. It truly makes a difference! We are all better together. 👫

    “Hi Nick, Thank you so much for supporting me and giving me motivation to complete my goal number of kilometers this August. I really appreciate it. I will be doing most of the riding in PEI so it should be very scenic and enjoyable. Brian and I are going on a bike and boat trip to Croatia on September 1st so this challenge will be a great way for me to get ready physically and mentally. And most importantly, thank you for supporting the kids who benefit from the Sick Kids Foundation. You can certainly emphasize with what they are going through. And where these kids are in Toronto you are supporting your local community. With love and appreciation, Jane”
