My Story

17 Jul 2023

Although running is my sport of choice and strength, this August, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!

Why?

Because cancer is the biggest killer of children from disease in Canada. Over 1,700 children are diagnosed with cancer every year.

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

  • Biking in the Summer Rain!!
    1 Sep 2024

    Biking in the Summer Rain

    What a way to end one month of riding.

    This ride in the rain took me back to my teenage years. A friend and I grabbed our bikes as a heavy summer downpour started. We chased each other down side streets in our neighbourhood. Sweating and soaked in rain we stopped at a corner store, bought 2 bottles of ice cold Coca Cola, sat down and quenched our thirst.

    The difference… back then I had a beat up bike and youth at my side. This time around, I was riding in luxury and, well… let’s just leave it at that!!

    This past Wednesday a colleague and I traded bikes; my titanium 2x10 speed road bike with his single speed commuter bike which I affectionately call Yellow Bee. I don’t know who was itching more to get out and let loose; me or Yellow Bee?

    We kept each other company for 35Km. Yellow Bee wanted to continue. I had to be a party pooper and say ‘can I get a rain cheque please?’

    Biking in the Summer Rain!!

  • 1st Bike of 2024 - 33c and 100% Humidity
    2 Aug 2024

    Running is my main sport of choice. Biking is my cross-training and a close second choice. Once again I am training for several upcoming run races; a 15K, a 1/2 marathon (21.1K) and a fall marathon (42.2K).

    Today is my easy / rest day. However, I am choosing to bike for an amazing cause -even with a 33c heat and 100% humidity- simply because kids that I wish to help don’t have a choice or an easy day. Regardless, they have chosen to persist and smile.

    Please help making their days easier and share in their smiles.
