I'm Riding For
In memory of Dad and for all the children who have passed or are battling.
I didn't know much about cancer until my Dad had a re occurrence in 2009. He suffered so terribly, without a word of complaint. New Year's Eve 2009 his oncologist gave him the news that any further Chemo would kill him, and we knew that without treatment he would die. I'm sorry that I didn't understand more during his first cancer, didn't walk beside him when he got involved in tributes and challenges for survivors and patients. I understand more now. I admire you for being so strong Dad, and miss you. During the last year I have begun following many children and their families and joining with thousands of people who pray and encourage them. I have learned more than I ever wanted to know about cancer and the terrible treatments patients endure on their journey. Work by dedicated persons in research and development of better, more effective and less invasive treatments leading to cures are in desperate need of our support, especially for children's cancers.
My Story
Why participate?

This year GCC is living up to the name "Challenge."
I wasn't sure if I could take it on. I know it is a fundraiser, but I think for us as riders it is also a personal challenge : physically and emotionally. It is a time of deep reflection on Children's cancers, the experiences of the children and their families, and the flooding thoughts of the children I pray for, following their journey, and remembering the precious ones who died. We may all have different experiences with the disease and reasons to participate in an event to raise funds to further research for cures and less invasive treatments.
If you would like to support me in the challenge the link to my page is

Donations can be made through the link on my page. I can also accept donations by e-transfer (contact me for the address), cash, or cheque (made out to Lucien Ruet) and I will send your donation in. Your receipt for tax purposes will be sent to your address (or e-address) from the Challenge office.
Thanks everyone, Lou

2024 kilometres
14 Aug 2024If you look at my riding stats. you will notice that I have pledged to ride fewer kilometres this year. The traffic in our city has increased significantly and it is very dangerous to ride a bike here. Rather than riding on the main roads upon which I can meter kilometres more quickly, I will be more selective when I choose my routes. It will take time and effort just the same, even though it looks quite different. Thanks again for your support.
