I'm Riding For

A riding tribute to my sister who sadly didn’t get the chance to grow up to realize any of her dreams.

My Story

25 Jul 2024

Once again I'm a proud participant in the Great Cycle Challenge Canada. This is my seventh year, my mission continues. Sadly the battle against childhood cancers is not over. I ride to support these kids. I ride to support SickKids Foundation and ensure they can continue their work in providing care, developing treatments and finding a cure for ALL childhood cancers. We also need to ensure these kids know they aren't alone in their battle. The Great Cycle Challenge riders are an 'army' across Canada fighting for them.

This years' ride, unfortunately, will look a bit different. I'm having surgery this week. As a result, it's going to sideline me for a bit. However, I AM COMMITTED to riding the distance promised and earning your dollars donated. It may not be until the end of August and into September. I'm hoping by then to at least be putting some kilometres on a stationary bike. I still intend to fundraise for the kids and SickKids Foundation and I still plan on riding the kilometres committed. I will just be a little "late for the party". I promise to meet and hopefully exceed

I ride for ALL the kids. I ride in remembrance for those who fought valiantly but lost their battle. There are too many! My sister, Bonnie, lost her battle with Astrocytoma at the young age of 10 in 1960. The possibility of a timely diagnosis, or the hope of a cure, was not in the picture during that time.

Now I try to help raise awareness of the battles these courageous kids are fighting today and give them hope of the possibility of a cure in their future. I ride for those children yet to be diagnosed!

Please consider supporting my efforts by making a donation and spreading the word to family, friends, colleagues and acquaintances. No donation is too small. Every dollar helps! Together lets help give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.

Together we can change the destiny of these little lives.

Thank you.
