From Survivor to Fighter – Riding for Kids’ Lives

I've been riding for the Great Cycle Challenge Canada since 2019—seven years and counting. This August, I'll be riding once again to fight kids' cancer in support of the SickKids Foundation, giving these children a fighting chance to live life, not just fight for it.

My journey with this challenge began in 2019, shortly after I fought and beat colon cancer. That experience changed me, and I knew I had to give back in some way. My daughter convinced me to take on this ride, and since then, it has become a part of who I am.

Year after year, I've continued, not just for the ride itself, but because I know my story has helped others. Now, I ride for these kids—to help them fight, survive, conquer, and one day, share their own stories of victory.

How You Can Support My Journey:

There are many ways to be part of this mission:

✅ Donate – Every dollar helps give kids a fighting chance.

✅ Share my page – Help spread the word and inspire others to support.

✅ Cheer me on – Your encouragement keeps me going!

✅ Join the Challenge – Ride with me and make a difference.

✅ All of the above – The ultimate way to make an impact!

You can choose one or more.

Whatever you decide...

Every bit of support counts, and together, we can help kids conquer their battles and live to tell their stories.

Thank you!

My Challenge

  • Light Finds A Way
    30 Jun 2025

    When the journey gets heavy and the road feels long, I ride.

    Through the quiet moments, the storms, and the setbacks, I ride because I know this truth: even in darkness, light finds a way to shine through.

    This year, as I ride 250 km for the Great Cycle Challenge Canada, I carry more than just miles on my back—I carry the memories of battles fought, the strength of survivors, and the hope of healing for kids facing cancer.

    I ride... for the children, for the families, for the fighters still holding on.

    I ride with heart, with faith, and with the promise that light always breaks through.

    Keep Going

    I ride with heart, purpose, and intention because I know what it means to fight and overcome. As a cancer survivor, every kilometer means more.

    This year’s goal: 250 km.

    Even with time off in August, I’m ready to give it my all for the kids, for the cause, and for the journey I’m still riding through.

    This challenge isn’t just for the warriors still fighting—it’s also for the survivors who have faced cancer head-on and won. I know the journey is never easy. I’ve walked that path myself.

    Cancer changes lives, but so can we.

    Together, we can be the reason a child gets to live, laugh, and dream beyond cancer.
