I'm Riding For
David Miller
In memory of my cousin Dave, who recently lost his battle with cancer.
My Story
This August, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!
Why? Because right now, over 1,700 children are diagnosed with cancer every year, and it's the biggest killer of children from disease in Canada.
Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.
So I am raising funds through my challenge to help these kids and support SickKids Foundation to allow them to continue their work in developing treatments and finding a cure for childhood cancer.
Please support me by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.
Your support will change little lives.
Thank you.

UPDATE
25 Aug 2024I have reached a snag in my ride journey. There is 1 week left, and I have just under 200 kms to go. It appears that I have pulled a calf muscle and haven't been able to ride this weekend. I'm resting it with heat and lots of coffee and chocolate (because those are sure cures for sore muscles). I'm hoping it's nothing serious and that I can continue my journey tomorrow. Wish me luck and healing!
