My Story

13 Jun 2024

Once again, I am back at it, aiming to ride 1,000km on my vintage 20+ year-old single-speed bmx bike. I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to help fight kids' cancer!

for the past three years a mix of health and life challenges saw me fall short of my 1,000km goal (within the month). However, I did keep riding beyond the month and managed to surpass my goal. This year, despite some continued challenges, I am gonna try again to hit my 1,000km goal within the month!

Cancer is the biggest killer of children, from disease, in Canada. It's also something I became very aware of at about age 8, when a younger cousin was diagnosed and subsequently lost his battle with it.

It has also claimed the lives of a school friend, a family friend, Ty's grandparents, an uncle of mine, my maternal grandfather, and my parents.

To say it's rough on adults is a massive understatement. It's something that nobody should experience. This is especially true of kids, who should be living life – not fighting for it.

So I am raising funds to support these kids, and to help SickKids Foundation continue their important work in developing treatments and cures for childhood cancer.

Please join me in supporting this important work by making a donation, of any size, to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.

Your support will change little lives in positive and meaningful ways.

Thank you.

  • First 50km!
    5 Aug 2024

    Completed my first 50km ride of the month. It was a great (and hot) ride from Midtown, down through the city, and along the lake! ThankfullyI had my watch tracking this ride because the GCC didn’t track it properly for some reason 😅

  • Training, fitness and great timing!
    2 Aug 2024

    The past few years have seen my ride impacted by some personal challenges, injuries, and bike repairs.

    This year I was determined to start strong! I started a new job at Proof Strategies, the last week of May and was delighted to learn they had bike incentive program 🚲 I had already planned to bike to and from work, but their bike program was a beautiful cherry on top of a sweet new opportunity.

    Since then I’ve been biking to the office, hitting the gym after work, and then biking home. A couple of weeks ago I gave my trusted old DK a tune-up and fresh paint job. I’ve watched my fitness steadily improve. I was all set to follow my ride plan starting Day 1, and to go full-speed at this year’s ride. lThat is until exactly a week ago, when I got knocked-out with a nasty cold (it felt like The Covid).

    So here we are on August 2nd, when I had planned to already have at least 70Km logged. Yet, as of today I’m still hacking-up my lungs and feeling head-spins every so often. BUT, I’m going to try to catch it up this weekend because what we’re riding to fight against is far more important than a summer cold!

    If you’re reading this, and have already made a donation to myself, or another rider, thank you. If you haven’t yet made a donation, and are in a position to make a small one, I’d encourage you to consider doing so. Wishing each of you love, joy, and harmony 🚲🙏❤️🤗

    Training, fitness and great timing!
