I'm Riding For

Bob Eden

My Dad was a big supporter of the fight to help these kids LIVE life instead of FIGHTING for it! My dad lost his battle with cancer on October 19, 2019, his fight is over. Please, let’s put aside everything that is happening in the world today and focus on this fight for the kids still silently battling cancer. Kids should be living not fighting cancer. Please help Kick Cancer's Ass!

My Story

11 May 2024

This August, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer! This is my 9 th year riding 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.

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.
