My Story

16 May 2026

This year my donation is in memory of Kayla. Kayla was a little 7 year old girl in one of Shirley’s classes at Thickwood Heights School. Every year when I do these rides, I think of Kayla and hope the money raised will go towards research, perhaps saving the life of a child.

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.

  • My Great Cycle Challenge 2026
    3 Aug 2026

    The Great Cycle Challenge Canada 2026 got underway August 1st.

    I started my challenge with a 110 km, 7.5 hr ride on The Harvest Moon Trail. Yes, like I posted earlier my butt was sore, my legs felt like they were going to explode and I was exhausted. But a good night’s rest and I am already planning my next adventure.

    I enjoy the ride and scenery, but I also do a lot of thinking about little Kayla and all the kids who have to fight to live.

    Statistics indicate every 2 minutes another child is diagnosed with cancer. That means while I was on my first ride 225 kids are now fighting to live and 17 of them are right here in Canada.

    These kids and their families need our help to get through their nightmare. If you can, please donate. No donation is too small and every little bit helps and is appreciated.

    I added a few pics from the ride and will post the link to my dashboard in the comments.
