My Story

27 Jul 2025

This August, I am taking part in my 6th Great Cycle Challenge to fight pediatric cancer!

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.

I am so grateful to the people who have supported me during my previous 5 challenges. I am seeking your support to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.

I'm going to make it simple, you donate $1 and I'll bike 1km, you donate $10 and I'll ride 10km, donate $100.......

Your support will change lives.

Thank you.

For the past two years, my goal has been to cycle 1km for every $ donated and anyone who donated, get their special day with a shout out on my ride. I will try to ride 30-40 km a day, so hopefully the weather will cooperate. I hope life is treating you well and that you are enjoying your well earned summer break. Merci encore!”
