My Story

7 Jan 2026

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

Why? Because right now, over 1,700 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.

Mary

My Challenge

216 Km and Finished

30 Aug 2026

Thanks everyone for your support. This week was a bit of a challenge. Tuesday I reached the 200km and Wednesday added a few more km.but it was one of those days - nothing went right - my route was being asphalted, dropped things, bumped my head - just silly annoying things. Life did hand us a shock and Geoff headed to hospital. All is fine but it was a tense 24 hours.

Back biking this am - what a treat! It is so important to find joy and gratitude everyday.

This is a zinnia Evie grew. Zinnias symbolize endurance, lasting affection, and thoughts of absent friends. I think it describes this challenge well. Thanks. See you next year!
