I'm Riding For

Mike Engeland

My Story

19 Aug 2025

This August, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer! I’m riding in memory of Mike Engeland. Mike participated for many years and raised thousands of dollars for Sick Kids. Mike got me started last year and this year I promised his wife to keep it going. Mike lost his own battle this past spring. Thanks.

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.
