I'm Riding For

Breanna Plourde

Breanna Plourde

Each August I ride in Memory of a young, beautiful soul....Breanna Plourde. Her family lost her 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 had for her will keep her memory alive with every sunrise.

My Story

27 Sep 2023

This is my 9th year Riding to Fight Kidsโ€™ 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 โ€“ 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 kidsโ€™ cancer โ€“ 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??

My Challenge

  • Certificate of Appreciation
    27 Sep 2023

    This Certificate is not just for me, but for all of you too.

    Without my sponsors and supporters, I would not have been able to raise $2,845 for Sickkids Foundation with Great Cycle Challenge.

    All funds raised go to support the work of SickKids Foundation to provide care, develop treatments and find a cure for childhood cancers.

    Friday September 29, Sickkids & GCC will announce the final fundraising figure.

    100 KM RIDE DONE !!!

    Morning was cool and no wind. The ride out was great and pretty quick.

    The ride back wasn't bad. Sun did get pretty warm but made it. Did some stops along the way.

    Had a great time doing it.
