I'm Riding For

Breanna, Naarah, Kristy, my brother, my Mom - too many others......

Breanna, Naarah, Kristy, my brother, my Mom - too many others......

Bre is the sweetest ever guardian angel of her two young brothers who were born after she gained her angel wings in 2016. A bright light snuffed too soon! Naarah is our family's strong spirit who has kept us all in awe of how she loved life and participated in so many activities A girl of our hearts for sure! Sadly Naarah left this world on June 21, 2018. The list is way too long: Bob, Katherine, Mom, Kristy, Nevan, Go Gold Cambridge warriors. This ride is to save more families from the heartache of losing a loved one. I thank you for your support from the bottom of my heart!

My Story

22 Jun 2024

This August, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer for my ninth year! When I first signed up, I had the honour to meet charming, smart, talented little Breanna who had the most beautiful smile. So very sadly Brianna earned her angel wings that year. All children should be able to run, bike, play and share great adventures with friends. They shouldn’t have to fight to keep living. Please join with me to find cures for childhood cancers!

In short, Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.

I pledge to pedal my way through August, raising funds to help SickKids Foundation's research team find many more answers to help cancer warriors big and little. Please support me to help decrease the number of children and adults (they are ALL someone's child) who lose their lives to this terrible disease!

Thank you so very much for your support, I appreciate it so much!
