My Story

25 May 2026

This August, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!

Why? Because right now, over 1,700 children are diagnosed with cancer every year, and it's the biggest killer of children from disease in Canada.

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.

My Challenge

1 Sep 2026

I am deeply grateful for your generous donation to the SickKids Foundation during the Great Cycle Challenge 2026.

Your generous support is a gift to children who face one of the hardest battles of their young lives. With incredible strength, courage, and faith, the children continue to fight cancer. Behind every child is a family carrying hope, fear, and love with the dream of seeing their child healthy and happy.

My goal during August was to ride 700 kilometres for our brave children. Unfortunately, due to an unforeseeable event, I was unable to complete my goal. Although I did not finish the ride as I had hoped, I am extremely grateful for your generous donation and for your belief in this cause. Your kindness reminds me that the true meaning of this journey is much greater than the kilometres I was able to ride.

Your generosity is more than a donation. It is a message of hope and compassion to the young hearts and their families. Your belief and support are a Blessing, reminding them, they are not alone in this fight.

Every child deserves the chance to dream, play, learn, laugh, and look forward to tomorrow without the fear of an unknown future. I sincerely hope, one day this battle will be only a part of history and cancer will no longer take away the childhoods and dreams of our children.

I am thankful to you for standing behind the children and supporting their journey during the Great Cycle Challenge. Your strong, generous, and genuine belief in this cause means so much.

Thank you for believing that every child deserves a future filled with hope.

For a future without cancer, from my heart, thank you.
