My Story

22 May 2025

This August I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids cancer! Together the last 6 years every August we logged over 6500 KM and raised over $9150 for the Sick Kids Hospital. With your support I trust we can make it $10,000 this year.

Let's kick cancers butt together!

Thank you.
