My Story

13 Aug 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.

Lori

My Challenge

Fun Friday Ride

21 Aug 2026

I had a fun ride on a beautiful Friday.

Lots of sun, lots of wind.

I met a friend and enjoyed the sights.

Life is good

I want to thank all of my sponsors - my regulars who've been with me every year as well as the new ones. It's people like you who make little kid's live better.

If only for one day - Kick Cancer's butt day.

12 Aug 2026

Most people are going through so many things right now. Everyone carries a burden, regardless of who they are.

I just want to lighten the load for the families of kids with cancer. It is a giant boulder that weighs them down. Let's lift it up a little and help them carry it, if only for one day.

Tuesday's smells.

11 Aug 2026

I like to ride the Welland Canal parkway because it's safer than our roads (although North end has pretty good bike lanes), it's pretty and I get to experience all my senses.

Today I was enjoying how wonderful the wildflowers that edge the canal smell. Butterflies and finches seem to flit and flutter about and enjoy them too. This brings me joy.

There is also the occasional dead fish smell, and most recently more sewage smells. Niagara region has had its drainage system overloaded by mother nature recently.

The good smells definitely towered over the nasty ones, so that makes for a good ride.
