My Story

31 Jul 2024

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.

  • Update on the final push to finish my k's
    12 Sep 2024

    Hi everyone!

    I haven't been riding since my shoulder dislocation. The doc said a surgery would put me out for 6 months and I don't need one right now. (whew) He DID say that if he had a million dollars to go to Vegas to put a bet on me dislocating it again, he would bet it all, take out a line of credit and bet that as well. Surgery will be inevitable at some point. In the meantime, I have been rehabilitating and strengthening the shoulder and I will return to the bike next week and finish. I'll let you know when that has been completed. Love and healthy shoulders to all of you!

    Update on my goal for August! I crushed the fundraising thanks to many of you, but fell a little short on the k's due to a shoulder dislocation (not on the bike but doing something equally as fun lol). I'm healing fine and according to the good people running the challenge, I can keep my page open for the month of September and finish my riding goal. Bonus! Once again many thanks to all of you for helping me reach my goal!

    Final numbers in August!

  • Goal slightly altered due to COVID
    4 Aug 2024

    Hi Donors!

    I have slightly altered my target. After my last race, I came down with the flu, and recovery has stretched into this first week of August, so I'm adjusting my goal accordingly. It's still going to be a challenge for me, but I didn't want to make it impossible. Thanks again for your support!
