My Story
26 May 2026
Once again, this August, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!
The smallest donations add up! Imagine if all my FB friends just gave $5 or $10?
We have all lost family or friends to cancer but children should never be faced with a cancer diagnosis.
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.
