My Story

2 Aug 2024

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.

Katherine

  • THANK YOU from Team Kathie & Julia
    26 Sep 2024

    THANK YOU!! Together we have raised $8,435 for Sick Kids to fight cancer! Your support of my quest to ride to help fight kids cancers has been amazing. You supported me “getting on my bike” with messages of encouragement and you far exceeded my constantly growing fund raising goal. THANK YOU 🥰

    Next year I’ll be back riding. Some of you have already agreed to ride with me as a team so we can raise even more to fight kids cancers. Thank you everyone. Your support means more than words can express. 🙏🏻

  • We DID it❣️
    1 Sep 2024

    A huge THANK YOU to my family and friends who have so generously supported my fund raising for Sick Kids to help beat kids cancers. Your continued and unwavering support ($ and words of encouragement 🤗) really powered me to surpass goal #1 - 300kms, #2 - 450kms and finally goal #3 - 500kms!

    With yesterday’s last ride of a great 51kms, a total of 569kms were clocked in my trusty 1996 hybrid bike. 500 for the target and by coincidence an extra km for each year I’ve enjoyed on this planet.

    So delighted I joined the GCC. I’ll be back next year. Forming a team, who is with me? Thank you 🙏🏻🚴🏻‍♀️

    We DID it❣️

    I am blown away by the support and motivation I am receiving from friends and family! Together we are working to beat kids cancers. I’ve committed personally to riding 1km for every 10 dollars I’ve raised for Sick Kids research and then another 50 for my new target. So my new goal is to ride 450kms!! 🚴🏻‍♀️🚴🏻‍♀️🚴🏻‍♀️🚴🏻‍♀️

    THANK YOU❣️
