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

My Story

11 Aug 2026

Once again I'm a proud participant in the Great Cycle Challenge Canada. This is my ninth year, my mission continues. Sadly the battle against childhood cancers is not over. I ride to support the kids, the little warriors. 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.

I AM COMMITTED to the kids and to riding the distance promised and earning your dollars donated.

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.

I try to help raise awareness of the battles these courageous kids are fighting today and give them, and their families and friends, 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.

    “Hi Jean! Thanks again for supporting my riding efforts for the kids. It’s different for me this year having to reduce the kms I ride but more important in the fundraising $’s to show the kids how much support there is for them across Canada and how desperate we all are to find cures for them. I’m hoping, when I get back from Sydney, to do the Lochside Trail ride again with Ron. Welcome to join if you’re around and not busy. Stay tuned 😉”
