My Story

31 Jul 2024

This August, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer! This my Fourth year taking part.

Why am I doing this Great Cycle Challenge:

- Because I am getting Older but I can Still Ride.

- Cancer is becoming part of my Lexicon.

- My Spouse, one Daughter, and three sisters have been diagnosed with Cancer.

- For my older sister, it was too late to be helped with the wonderful treatments available in Canada.

- If we are able to catch it early a Normal life is possible.

Children are our Future and one life saved may be the ONE that has the Key to unlock another cure.

Please help by Sponsoring my challenge in August.

Sick Kids Foundation will automatically send you

an official Tax Receipt for 2024.

Thank you so much.

Colin

So far I cycled about 1,100 Km. Just the one incident when I got caught in the rain and just when I turned into our underground parking garage my WET tyres slid out from under me and ended up sliding on the cement. Could have been worse. Again - Thank You on behalf of the KIDS. Colin”
