I'm Riding For

Beckett

Beckett is my friend's grandson. Early last year he was diagnosed with leukemia and is receiving treatment at Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario. I think of his three-year treatment journey as I journey through my 100 km ride challenge.

My Story

6 Jul 2026

This is year #8 of my participation in the Great Cycle Challenge — raising funds to fight kids' cancers.

Funds raised will support SickKids Foundation in its life-saving research into the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and cure of children's cancers.

During the month of August my goal is to cycle 100 km and raise $1500.

Why am I doing this? Because each year over 1700 families in Canada receive the news that their child has cancer and they begin the rollercoaster ride of treatment that affects the whole family.

I’m thrilled and grateful for the support from friends, family, and colleagues over the past seven years. Your generous donations have raised over $14,000!

I’ve challenged myself to ride 100 km during the month of August, and to raise $1500 in donations. As I ride I think of the kids who are fighting cancer, especially my friend’s grandson, four-year-old Beckett. Their challenges are so much tougher than mine! I’m glad to support this cause—because kids should be enjoying life, not fighting for it!

I would feel honoured to have your support. Check out my Great Cycle Challenge webpage https://greatcyclechallenge.ca/Riders/MaryMcNeill where you can follow my progress.

A cooler morning ride

10 Jul 2026

I'm grateful for this morning's cooler weather. It let me enjoy a 9 km ride as I build up my stamina.

I've ridden many of the same routes over the years, and each year I notice something new. Today I realized that there are a lot of walnut trees around here!
