I'm Riding For
JOAN CAROL
Well soon there will be photo's of Sunshine in a Jersey and me, maybe, she is an energetic puppy, lol. Jolene will do for now. This year is in memory of Joan my youngest sibling (60) who passed away with Stage 4 Cancer after a 3 plus year battle on March 11, 2026.
My Story
This August, I am and have been taking part for the 11 consecutive year of the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer! I am riding in memory of Jolene my little buddy and for a young girl in our neighborhood battling cancer.
Why we do this: 1,400 children are diagnosed with cancer every year, and it's the biggest killer of children from disease in Canada. I am dedicating each ride to Joan my youngest sibling who lost her battle March 11, 2026.
So I am raising funds through my challenge one more time 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 in memory of Joan.
Thank you.

Tough negotiator. New Coach Sunshine is officially on board.
7 Aug 2026Week 1 complete: 6 rides and more than 340 km toward my 1,200 km goal.
She appears to have inherited the coaching job—and possibly the contract-negotiation skills too.
Thank you to everyone who has donated and followed along so far.
