My Story

7 Jan 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.

Julia

My Challenge

First Ride

10 Aug 2026

Healing from an SI joint injury, testing how healed I am with a 5km ride. You really have to stick your but out to keep your back in a good position! Felt OK, but will have to see how it feels tomorrow!
