My Story

11 Aug 2024

This August, I am taking part in my 4th Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!

Why? Because right now, over 1,400 children are diagnosed with cancer every year.

As well, I am riding in memory of very special lifelong best friend, Darlene Robertson, who lost her valiant battle with cancer June 21, 2021 at 70 years of age. We shared so many good times together and she will always be in my heart.

As well riding for all the kids battling and for all individuals who have lost family, friends to cancer or recovered from cancer.

Please support me by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.

If you wish to donate financially you will receive an official receipt or if you just wish to support me that is great 🥰

Your support will change little lives ❤️

Please follow and support my ride at :

I will blog some of my rides. Almost all my rides will be on my bicycle but, I may try an electric bike a couple of times 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️. My rides will not be daily but, completed in the Foothills , Hinton areas 😍 All fun and so excited to be part of GCC again, 👏

Thanks to all of you we made the Super Hero Level last year !

Thank you ❤️🚴‍♀️

    Sometimes u think it is too nasty to go out riding & you meet all these people riding, walking.

    Exhilarating ride today with the wind pushing me , was a Carnoustie Golf Course wind today.

    Nothing is hard when you think how the kids battle each day ❤️

    Amazing cloud picture for you today

    Ride 4 was a challenge riding through all the leaves 🍃 and downed trees from the violent storm Monday night ⚡️🌪️💨 but, we made almost 10 Kms

    Thanks to all who have donated to date & all those supporting me verbally.

    Today , I am going to send my mass email out as we have been waiting patiently for

    GCC to announce “yay or nay” for the double up day. No word from them so we will just go forward 🚴‍♀️

    Take care everyone be safe out there ❤️🥰
