My Story

13 Jun 2024

I am embarking on the journey of the Great Cycle Challenge this August, driven by an unwavering commitment to combat childhood cancer. Having triumphed over a 1023 km goal last year, I am now setting my sights on a more formidable target of 1,024 km throughout August.

My resolve is unwavering as I pedal towards this new goal, all in the noble pursuit of supporting children in their battle against this relentless foe. I advocate for the children who are bravely battling cancer, as they embody true strength and resilience.

While cancer has not touched my family, my passion for working with children propels me forward. They represent our future, and I am committed to making it brighter for everyone.

Join me in the Great Cycle Challenge as I pedal to support the effort to end childhood cancer and preserve the precious lives of these little ones. In Canada alone, over 1,400 children are diagnosed with cancer annually, making it the foremost threat among childhood diseases.

Your support is crucial to these resilient young warriors. Donate now to transform their lives and ensure a future where they can thrive. Together, we will make a powerful impact and turn the tide against childhood cancer.

Your support will change many lives.

My event will be during the month of September. Special Note: I always gift my jersey to a survivor or to a family member when the child has left us to soon. Living by my wife's motto: KeepGoing.
