I'm Riding For
Breanna Plourde
Each August I ride in Memory of a young, beautiful soul....Breanna Plourde. Her family lost her on February 4, 2020 at the age of 27. Breanna courageously fought a battle against osteosarcoma. Although the sun has set on Breanna, the memory of that energetic smile, the love she had for others, the positivity she radiated, and the love everyone has for her will keep her memory alive with every sunrise.
My Story
This is my 11th year Riding to Fight Kids’ Cancer with Great Cycle Challenge for SickKids Foundation.
The Great Cycle Challenge Canada is a national SickKids Foundation fundraising initiative held throughout August.
All funds raised go to support the work of SickKids Foundation to provide care, develop treatments and find a cure for childhood cancers.
Cancer is the largest killer of children from disease in Canada.
Today, over 83% of pediatric patients will survive their cancer. And every day the GFCC (Garron Family Cancer Centre) is coming closer to closing the gap between detection and treatment – between the ability to determine the genetic factors of cancer, and the ability to deliver faster, personalized, and more effective treatment options.
We are not just taking the fight to one type of kids’ cancer – our mission is to find a cure for all cancers to ensure Healthier Kids Have Brighter Futures.
Our Vision is a world without cancer where all kids are living life, not fighting for it.
Can You Help Me Reach My Goal??

Two Days To Go
30 Aug 2026🚴🏼♀️ Two Days To Go 🚴🏼♀️
45km away from my Riding Goal. Raised 76% over my Hero's Goal so have to ride 76% over my riding goal.
Did a great one this morning. Glad I left an hour earlier than I was planning.
Didn't run into the web either. He was right in the middle waiting for some food. I ducked under the web.
Saw two white squirrels in Puce.

Aug 24th - tracker not tracking
25 Aug 2026I rode 36.80 but tracker paused at the river then when I checked it at the Ford Test Track, it started again. So it didn't log 4km.
That is A Lot ugh 😫 so I mapped it out again.
Gonna keep a close eye on it for my last 4 rides. Can't afford to miss any KMs in my quest to hit 700km.
