My Story

28 Apr 2025

Hello! I have again signed up for the 2025 Great Cycle Challenge and am riding this August to fight kids' cancer!

My goal is to pedal 300 km throughout the month.

But I am taking on this challenge for one reason... to kick cancer's butt!

Because cancer is the largest killer of children from disease in Canada - over 1,700 children are diagnosed every year, and 4 children die every week.

Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.

Please support me by making a donation through my fundraising page:

Thanks for your support, and wish me luck.

“Oh Richard. Such a generous donation….thank you so much. These little children fight so hard just to live, cycling for them is the least I can do. And I stay motivated by the support I receive from people like yourself. Again….thank you.”
