I'm Riding For

Robert

This year I am dedicating my ride to fellow GCC rider Robert Hurst. I met Robert on one of my rides last year and was blown away by his determination to help the kids while fighting his own battle. Cancer can strike anyone. Please support my ride so a child can be spared.

My Story

18 Aug 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.
