I'm Riding For

Maria Fernanda Valenzuela

Maria Fernanda Valenzuela

My angel, my soul, always in our hearts.

My Story

8 Jul 2026

This August, I’m riding in the Great Cycle Challenge Canada to help fight childhood cancer.

This ride is deeply personal. In 1987, I lost my precious 2-year-old daughter, Maria Fernanda, to cancer. Not a day goes by that I don’t carry her in my heart. I’m riding in her memory and in honor of every child and family facing this devastating disease.

If you’re able, please consider making a donation, support with a kind word of encouragement or simply sharing my fundraising page. Every dollar supports life-saving childhood cancer research through SickKids Foundation and helps bring hope to children who deserve the chance to grow up healthy and live their dreams.

Thank you for helping me keep Maria Fernanda’s memory alive while making a difference for children fighting cancer today. ❤️
