This August, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer! This is my third time. Last summer I did 80 km because my best friend Arya never got to have her 8th birthday. The year before I did 70 km because she did not make it to 7. This year I am riding 90 km because she never got to be 9 like me.

My best friend, Arya, died of brain cancer when she was just 6 years old. She was just about to turn 7 years old. I miss our adventures together and hope they can help kids with cancer so that they can live. Kids should always be able to have adventures. I am doing this biking adventure for Arya.

I am hoping to raise $10,000 in total by the time Arya would have turned 10 years old. So far I have raised $6,000 for the GCC and Sick Kids and I heard all year about how that money helped different kids fighting cancer. I hope more kids with cancer will be able to have the adventures that Arya never got to do.
