I'm Riding For

The Kids

The Kids

For ALL the kids! For my Granddaughter Kylie. "The Bug" does not have cancer, she has my heart, my soul, and every fiber of my life held in her little smile. (When she isn't being a terrorist) She is the Granddaughter I was never supposed to have met having been handed a terminal diagnosis in 2013.

My Story

16 Jan 2026

My name is Richard Bone, and for over a decade, I’ve been fighting a relentless battle with cancer. My journey began in December 2012 with a diagnosis of Stage IV colon cancer that quickly changed my life. Since then, I’ve faced multiple surgeries, rounds of chemotherapy, and several new cancer diagnoses—including bladder and throat cancer. There were moments when the odds were overwhelmingly against me, but with hope, determination, and the unwavering support of my loved ones, I kept moving forward.

Through every setback and every victory, I’ve learned just how strong the human spirit can be. I ride in the Great Cycle Challenge Canada for the 6th time not just for myself, but for everyone who faces cancer and for the families who stand beside them. Together, we can make a difference—because nobody fights alone.

Thank you for supporting the Sick Kids Foundation and helping to give hope to so many on their own cancer journeys.

I may have cancer, but cancer doesn’t have me!

My Challenge

  • AI and The Charity Rider
    31 Jul 2026

    There has been a lot of talk about AI lately. Some good, some bad. I think there are great benefits to be found, but also remember when Sarah Connor saved the world from Sky Net...

    My favourite positive use of AI is some of the amazing images we can make without needing a degree in computer graphics or being a gifted artist.

    I spent a few minutes with a couple easy prompts and images from previous years rides, and came up with a new very epic poster!
