My Story
This August, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!
Why? Because right now, over 1,400 children are diagnosed with cancer every year, and it's the biggest killer of children from disease in Canada. Not only have I worked with children who are actively fighting cancer, but have also experienced the upheaval of having this disease - and witnessed them courageously receiving treatments when going for supportive treatments at the Ottawa Integrative Cancer center (OICC).
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 kindly.
Kira

Growing in Stamina
10 Aug 2026If you asked me as a kid or a teen if I'd ever be able to do more than a piddly little ride, the answer would have been a hard no (was super prone to heat exhaustion and would frequently pass out).
I've been pushing myself to new heights, and my stamina is building, too!
Today was a pleasant trek from Parc Mousette to Carp and back 72 km. It was fun passing by other participants of the same challenge, clocking in some km's.
Raised my fundraising goal to $1000, too, because you guys are way too generous and passed my original goal of $500 within a few days. 😀
182km down and 162km to go to reach my 350km goal - let's do this!!

Thank you for your generous support so far!
6 Aug 2026I am deeply motivated by all the friends, family & neighbors who have shown up and donated so far - $715.50 raised in just the first five days of the challenge!
Today the whole team enjoyed a ride together to Moo Shu Ice cream and cooled off afterwards with a swim in the beautiful Gatineau River. Feeling all around, blessed! :)
THANK YOU
