My Story

18 Jul 2024

As a family, we fought the "Impossible" at Sick Kids Hospital spending endless days, nights and holidays. The amazing nurses, doctors, social workers, support staff of Sick Kids gave us the hope and strength we needed to fight. 

So it is time to give back - as I always do every year, I am raising funds for Sick Kids and decided to do it differently this year - This August, I'm taking on the challenge to ride 400km in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer supporting Sick Kids Hospital!

My goal is to raise $2,500 to help the brave kids at Sick Kids as they face the scariest time of their little lives:
