I'm Riding For

Cathy and Jeff

Cathy (my sister) is 69 years of age and has been successfully battling cancer for about 30 years. Jeff (my spouse's brother) is 60 years of age and has been fighting an aggressive cancer for about two years.

My Story

6 Aug 2024

I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!

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.

Therefore, 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.

If you can afford to donate cents per kilometer, that would be super!

Your support will change young lives.

Thank you.

    “I'm donating $161. 161 is the equivalent of 100 (km to miles), and it is that number that inspires me to go beyond, to go beyond what is comfortable and what is normal. A 100-mile day (161 km) is an accomplishment for me. I've done a few of them during my 40+ years of riding, and every one of them has been a tough victory. I hope to send those same feelings to all the kids who are battling on their own individual "Great Rides to Victory".”
