My Story

21 Jul 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.

Joan

    This morning the weather was calling for rain this afternoon,so I got up early headed out on my bike to put in some km , I figured I am going to explore and that is what I did !

    I found myself almost at Brackly Beach I entered the trail and exited it at the pa ed path and just followed it u til it was gone I still pushed on , I wanted to hit 50km today , I get lost easy so I figured I best turn around headed home . I process a lot of things that go through my head during the week sometimes you have to be kind to yourself this week I did that for the betterment of myself mentally physical challenges for me are pretty easy emotional not so much , here I am carrying onward and living life to the fullest - like I have been trained to do all my life - I take on to much sometimes not anymore I have now learned to accept a lot of things that crush a soul but here I am pretending it’s all good Keep on biking with the target in mind !

    Have a safe riding weekend everyone

    I was late getting going today - little chain issue mid way through the ride got that all fixed up and off I went!

    I had one blue jay fly so close to me when I was riding I thought it was going to get hit thankfully he didn’t !

    There was a lot on the trails today I was hurting from the 60km ride on Saturday now I am hurting even more.

    I do this in memory of my youngest boy James ! I hope this message is understood so many children lose thier lives and James was one of- he was so brave bless his heart I know he is watching . Have a great evening

    This is from today’s ride

    Well today I laid low to recover from yesterdays Long ride !

    I went to bed last night with so much thanks for all those cheering me on in the distance and close by, I appreciate it all.

    I was truly hurting from the ride . I will be back at it tomorrow I came up with an idea if every person that met James and he touched you in a wonderful way donated $1.00 I am sure I would exceed the small goal of 500$ we are making a little more progress today.

    Tomorrow’s ride will be to clean up the 1st 100km . I hope I can get more done this week to reach the goal of 600km

    Remember donate for this cause that is with me daily - thinking - wondering a lot these days about James .

    Enjoy the rest of your Sunday everyone !

  • Memory
    1 Aug 2026

    Today I started something that truly I held back from for so many years !

    I rode for children’s cancer , I do this in memory of my son who was taken ao early in life - we were still getting to know who James was as a boy ! None is to young to pass away from such a horrible thing - many children and families hold tight to each other with HOPE and a pile of FAITH - not the kind of faith most would think of that comes after they see the child have a great day then it switches to god you go to. Ed and pray for the child to have a good day again tomorrow - you have to have faith in so many caretakers it is overwhelming , I have not experienced that feeling since !

    So as I ride I will think of all those I met so many years ago !

    I will think of my Oldest Juston wondering how the heck he survived - he is a. Wry successful man with to girls now and uncle James as they call him in heaven would love them so deeply .

    Ride with purpose

    Ride with your heart

    Mostly ride so no child has to be lost or suffer

    Have a great ride this month everyone

    I will be out there on trails

    Have fun , laugh a little and mostly remember why your doing this ride
