Jolene

Jolene

In memory of a great companion, my coach, my buddy who also had cancer, and whom was part of the last 9 rides. And for a local child battling cancer a few doors away.

My Story

10 Aug 2025

This August, I am and have been taking part for the 10 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 a specific person who has fought or lost their battle or one of the kids battling cancer currently.

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.
