My Story
7 Aug 2026
This August, I’m taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge for reasons that have become deeply personal. Cancer touched my extended family this year in a heartbreaking way, and several people close to me are still fighting their own battles. Watching loved ones go through something so heavy changes you. It makes you want to do something — anything — that helps push back.
Cycling has always been a passion of mine, and this challenge gives me a way to turn that passion into purpose. I’m riding to support SickKids Foundation and the incredible work they do to develop better treatments and, one day, a cure for childhood cancer. Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.
What started quietly — just me sponsoring myself for $100 — has grown into something I never expected. A few people joined me, then a few more, and suddenly we had a team. Today, we’re a group of dedicated riders who have already raised thousands of dollars and logged hundreds of kilometres. Their energy, generosity, and commitment have been inspiring, and I’m proud of what we’re building together.
If you’re able, please support my challenge. Your donation will help give kids with cancer the brighter futures they deserve. And your support means more than you know.
Thank you,
Steve
