My Story

13 Aug 2024

This year I dedicate my rides to Devra, my niece who succumbed to the monster almost 2 years ago. On August 14th she would have been celebrating her birthday and this year it happens to be DONOR MATCH DAY, THANKS TO THE GARRON FAMILY for their ongoing support and giving so other families do not suffer as they did when their son lost his battle. No child and no adult should have their life shortened. We must work together always to wipe out CANCER.

This August, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!

Why? Because right now, over 1,400 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.

    “Dear Garron Family, Thank you for being such wonderful leaders and motivators in the GCC. Your ongoing generosity brings hope to all those fighting the battle. My husband Mike Rilstone and I are in our mid 70s and in our 4th and 3rd years riding for the cure, Mike does over a 100 KMS per day in August (equivalent to a marathon running or walking). I chose to ride every day year round and today is #747 for me. As we peddle on our recumbent bikes we think of all the kiddies who are so desperately awaiting the cures to provide them with a healthy chance at life and all it is meant to be. Thank you again for your inspiration. Mar and Mike 💖💖💖💖💖”
