I'm Riding For
Roberta, Zach
My grandmother Roberta was an incredible woman who unfortunately lost her battle while I was still at university. I never got to properly say good-bye, but carry my love for her in my heart every day. My cousin Zach and I shared a love for video games, but also the touch of cancer's cruel sting. The fondest memory I have with him is playing a Metroid game on his GameCube in his hospital room. Every time I wear my Metroid socks I think of him.
My Story
This August I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!
Why? Because right now over 1400 children are diagnosed with cancer every year. It's the biggest kid killer disease in Canada… yet somehow in 1993 my life was saved from this dreadful plague.
Whenever I hear that another child is helpless at the clutches of cancer it breaks my heart. They should be living a great life the way kids are meant to not fighting for the right to have a life at all.
So I am raising funds through this cycling challenge to help these hurting youngsters and supporting SickKids Foundation so they can continue their noble work in developing treatments + finding a cure for childhood cancer.
If you'd like to support me by making a donation, I'd be incredibly grateful, but I appreciate shares on all social media’s just as much.
Thank you for helping me help the future of humanity.

How It's Going...
14 Aug 2024We're halfway through the month and despite not having been the most proactive with in-person fundraising I've managed to rally a little bit of support through family. I haven't been logging all my bike rides for my kilometer goal since I feel like my commute to work isn't something I'm doing for the challenge, but my usual method of travel anyway. I may start counting them in the second half of the month to see what kind of dents they can make toward my 200km goal. Looking at my work hours for the next couple of weeks I may see if I can make a long ride across the bridge work to potentially meet up with another Island cyclist. Time will tell I suppose.
