I'm Riding For

Jodi/Muriel/Jeff/Barry/Lindsay/ Lawrence/ Don

Cancer has directly affected and impacted so many of my family members and close friends. Although cancer has claimed many of them, they stayed strong through each battle. I want to rise to this challenge like they fought/ are fighting cancer. Help me win the fight!

My Story

7 Aug 2024

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.

Here's my personal impact over 6 years to fight kids' cancer and save little lives.

    Has a tough time sleeping last night so took a cbd/thc pill early and it put me to sleep until 11am!!! So my first ride would have to be in extra steamy conditions. But the trail around 2:15? It felt great!. Rode past Glen Morris so took my first break. Had the water to myself so walked right in! Waited for feet to dry then off again. Then a 5 minute stop to stretch at 3 sisters. As I headed home from there I saw a dark line of clouds approaching but wanted to keep going to increase the distance. Turned around at just the right time. Got into the car and the rain started- torrential! Lucky me & maybe my bike got a good wash? But it still needs a tune up- squeaky front wheel the last 8km.

    Will keep my bike rack on as often as possible. It makes getting to the trails so much better.

    The bugs & mosquitoes were really bad today. I couldn’t stop at all in the shade! They attacked me in the parking lot.
