Why I'm taking part:

I'm proud to be part of Team TOUR DE MARY, in memory of Mary Power, who passed away from cancer earlier this year. Mary was the much-loved mother of our friend, Andrea.

This cause is also deeply personal to me.

Six years ago, my goddaughter and best buddy, Emma Clarke of Victoria, Newfoundland, lost her battle with nephroblastoma (Wilms tumour), a rare form of pediatric kidney cancer. Emma was just six years old and had a special love for unicorns.

She had an infectious smile, an incredibly brave spirit, and a way of lighting up every room she entered. Her legacy lives on, and I'm honoured to ride and raise funds in her memory to help fight kids' cancer.

Every dollar brings us one step closer to better treatments and, one day, a cure.

Let's see what we can achieve this year!
