My Story

8 May 2023

My Fifth Great Cycle Challenge

o8 - May - 2023

This August I am participating in the Great Cycle Challenge 2023 to fight kids' cancer! This is my fifth Challenge.

I am riding to honour the memory of my son, Avrum, whose battle with cancer ended in May, 1982. Avrum was 10.

I am riding to honour the memories of all my relatives and friends who have dealt or are dealing with cancer.

Kids and everyone 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 cures for childhood cancer. I wish I could support other programs but my resources are limited.

Please support me by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.

Your support will change lives.

Thank you.
