I'm Riding For
Christine Hiemstra
In Loving Memory of My Nana I'm riding the Great Cycle Challenge in memory of my Nana. She filled our family with love, kindness, and strength, and I'll always cherish the time we spent together. Even though she's no longer with us, her love continues to guide and inspire me every day. Every kilometre I ride is for her, and for all the children bravely fighting cancer. I know she would have been proud to see me taking on this challenge to help make a difference. This ride is for you, Nana. You'll always be in my heart.
My Story
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.
Jayden

I did it!!! 50km. WOW
7 Sep 2026I did it. I didn't think I could do it, but I did it, 50 km ride. It was really hard at times, but I took lots of breaks, and had some snacks. My favourite was the sugar powder candy, it really gave me a boost. My favourite part of the day was stopping at Anna Mae's for breakfast and a donut.
Thank you to all the people who have been encouraging me, and who have sponsored me. It mean a lot to me, but more to the kids and their families suffering from cancer.

Kick Cancer's Butt - Thank YOuy
14 Aug 2026A HUGE THANK YOU ❤️🚴♂️
I want to take a moment to personally say THANK YOU to everyone who has supported me and my dad, Mark, during this year’s Great Cycle Challenge.
I’m pretty amazed at what we’ve been able to do so far. Together, we’ve raised an incredible $13,870 — $9,713 for Dad and $4,157 for me! 🎉
And the crazy part is, we're not even halfway done yet! There are still lots of kilometres to ride, more challenges ahead, and lots more work to do to help fight kids' cancer. 🚴♂️💪
Some Very Special Thank Yous ❤️
Lockdoor Canada — Thank you for giving Dad a DJI Osmo 360 camera. It has helped him capture some really cool moments from our rides and share them with everyone who is supporting us. We really appreciate it!
John H. — aka Pake/Dad — Thank you for helping Dad with the money to get his bike fixed and back on the road. We definitely need those bikes working if we're going to finish all these kilometres! 😂🚴♂️
Vicky — Thank you for letting Dad stay at your home in Goderich so he could get a good night's sleep before getting back on his bike. That's a pretty awesome thing to do for someone who had a lot more riding ahead of him!
And to everyone who donated, sponsored us, shared our posts, joined us for a ride, cheered us on, or sent us an encouraging message — THANK YOU! ❤️
Your support means a lot to both of us. Every donation helps us ride for kids who are fighting cancer, and knowing that people are behind us makes those long kilometres a little easier.
We've already come a long way, but there's still a LOT more to go! So let's keep riding, keep fundraising, and keep Kicking Cancer's Butt! 🎗️💪🚴♂️
And don't forget — the prize draw will be held this Saturday, August 15! 🎉
Good luck to everyone who entered, and thank you for being part of our journey!
Together, we're going to make a difference! ❤️

My First Ride
3 Aug 2026My first ride was 10.5 km It was really fun. The weather was nice and sunny, and after my ride I went for a swim. Cycling with my family made it extra special. I'm proud to be wearing such a cool jersey that is comfortable, and means I'm riding to fight kids' cancer. Thanks everyone for your support, it means a lot.
