Adam Tondevold 2025 trail ride to defeat 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.

My Challenge

Final ride of the year for the Great Cycle Challenge
1 Sep 2025The trails were rough and required constant alertness. The bugs where tolerable, and the weather was challenging, but overall the trail rides were interesting. I completed all my goals for this year and together the cyclists throughout Canada raised a lot of money to help defeat this horrible, devastating disease. Through dedication and intense research a cure can be found, that will enable these children to live normal lives. No child should have to live in pain and suffering and I will continue to pray and support these beautiful children.

Shadow, water and sunshine
31 Aug 2025The dark shadows cast their shapes upon the rippling water.The bright sun shone overhead, casting light reflections upon the waters surface. Flies and mosquitoes would buzz around in search of food. Their obvious food choice was my life blood as they pierced my skin in search of it. The hot sun, shining upon the surface of the rippling water, heated up the water, creating the conditions where aquatic plant species could grow and thrive. The droplets of water falling to the surface of the water created circular patterns and wave patterns that mixed with the light from the sun. As the sun began to set and it began to darken, I made the decision to complete my distance challenge for today and cycle to my final finishing point.

Water, sun and vegetation.
30 Aug 2025The tall grass lined the banks of the meandering creek as the grey sky reduced the light coming from the sun. The vegetation was abundant and growing rapidly and starting to produce seed. The light from the sun was filtered by the dense, grey cloud cover. A faint glowing orb was present behind the cloud cover. The thick vegetation was able to absorb more moisture from the slow, flowing creek while the heat from the sun was temporarily filtered by the grey clouds. The gentle wind would cause the thick vegetation to sway back and forth like the grass was dancing, while the water flowed slowly down the creek. Eventually the sun would appear more brightly as the cloud cover dissipated. The rays from the bright sun would bounce off the surface of the creek, creating star like patterns. Water, sun and vegetation, natures own wonderment.

Stone, grass, water and sun
29 Aug 2025The water flowed quietly and slowly through the narrow, stone lined creek. The ducks swam contently through the water feeding on whatever they could find. The narrow geology of the creek made it a good place for ducks and other creatures of nature to rest and feed. The bobbing heads of the ducks, along with the flapping of wings made for an enjoyable observation of nature. Swimming slowly in search of food the ducks would be soon be out of sight. I appreciated all the more the hand of man who built this narrow run off canal, as I saw how much it contributed to betterment of the natural order.
