  “Well, thank you very much again for this incredibly generous donation. Those are very kind words. I remember the story you told me about your friend. Its stories like that which drive me forward. I cant believe that this all started after I saw an AD on Instagram for the GCC (Great Cycle Challenge) while I was waiting for a Pizza to be made. I set my originally goal at $250, well $36,000 later and here we are! Tomorrow I depart my house is Markham, on route to Montreal. Together we can do great things. Thank you, - Michael Riley”

That became very true for me when Emma was born. Fortunately she was born health. She is actually the reason I started this event back in 2021. Now with the amazing news today that Jessica and I are having a little baby Boy really makes this event something very special to me. Thank you Sean, - Michael Riley”
