My Story

31 Jul 2025

I'm riding 1,000km this August on a 20+ year-old single-speed BMX — to fight kids’ cancer.

This is my sixth year doing the Great Cycle Challenge, raising funds for childhood cancer research at SickKids. It's also how I like to celebrate another year around the sun at the end of the month — by pushing myself for something that matters — and this year marks rotation number 52.

The truth is, I haven’t always hit my 1,000km goal (within the month) some years. Life, injuries, and etcetera got in the way. But I kept riding anyway and always hit 1,000km eventually. This year, I’m aiming to cross that finish line in August.

Cancer is the #1 disease killer of children in Canada. It took my younger cousin when I was just 8. Since then, it’s taken friends, grandparents, an uncle, and both of my parents. It’s brutal at any age — but for a kid to go through it? That’s just wrong.

That’s why I ride. To raise funds. To raise hope. To help give kids a chance to just be kids — not patients.

If you can, please donate. Every bit helps.

Your support will help fund life-saving research and better treatments through SickKids Foundation.

Thanks for reading. Thanks for caring. And thanks for cheering me on.
