I'm Riding For

In memory of Dad, for Heidi and for all the children who have are so brave and strong.

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

12 Aug 2026

August 2026,

Year 7, a little over 7k raised to date, some children whose profiles I shared are gone now. Others are doing great. If you snoop around a bit you will see our child ambassadors for this year. They are bravely facing the disease and we are cheering them on. Each year is a bit different and 2026 is proving this once again. It has been a sad time for many. We will carry on, and make a difference. Join me if you can. Thank you for all your support everyone. Lucien (Lou).

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.

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

“Here we Go. The Garron Family is matching donations again this year UP TO 1.3 MILLION DOLLARS. They lost their Son Michael to cancer in the 1970's and have been supporting the battle to find cures and treatments ever since. He feared that he would be forgotten, and the foundation in his name ensures that he never will be.”
