I'm Riding For
ALL Impacted people
Cancer has always sucked! It continues to suck! It will likely suck in the future, but we can make improvements in the lives of all people impacted by his disease. This year I dedicate my ride to YOU and all people impacted by cancer in any way. I draw strength from people who have faced this disease with such courage and grace.
My Story
This August, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer! This will be my fourth consecutive year participating in this challenge.
Right now, over 1,400 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.

Ride #12 - Beat the Rain
27 Aug 2024Yesterday it was heat, today it was wind and rain. I got out for a quick rip north and south and beat the rain. I got a few drops which prompted the early return home, but as it turned out I could have gotten another 15 minutes in. LOL.

Ride #11 - Meet my Mileage Goal
26 Aug 2024Shannon and I went out today in the heat to put in some KMs in an effort to meet my GCC Mileage Goal. As you know, I surpassed the goal on Saturday while Riding in the Wounded Warriors Ride for Mental Health. These KMs today are GCC specific and put me past my GCC goal as well. Great ride around home with Shannon today to get this done.

Wounded Warriors - Ride For Mental Health
24 Aug 2024Out today supporting another cause near to my heart. Wounded Warriors Ride For Mental Health raises money to provide services to all who serve.
Technically this ride put me over my mileage pledge, but I don’t want to “Double Dip” so I’ll ride my GCC closing kms later this week and will advise when the KMs are complete.

Ride # 9 - Ride Around the Friendly Town
21 Aug 2024Single digit temps this morning kept me waiting until this afternoon to get out and ride. I still had to wear a long sleeve riding sweater, but I nailed the clothing for the temp (I love it when that happens). It was a cool north wind, and lots of it today.
I received my Jersey this week (photo to follow) and will wear it when I meet/surpass my mileage goal. I'm getting closer to my riding goal each time I go out. Thanks again to everyone who supported me. Love to ALL!

Ride # 8 - Nipissing Village Run
15 Aug 2024There's no easy part of this ride. There's a climb within the first 5k and of course, you have to come out of Christian Valley coming home. I felt pretty good about the ride and added Main St. as a cool down. This will bring me close to my new (Pro-rated) goal. Your generosity brought me above my financial goal, so my new pre-rated goal to match that generosity is 372.6 kms. I'm not going to change my home page but I'll state it here for all of you. Keep looking for the progress if you're interested.

Fundraising Goal Achieved!!!
15 Aug 2024I want to send a message of thanks and gratitude to all who have sponsored me in this cause. Not only are your donations going directly towards fighting Children's cancer, your generosity also put me over my goal yesterday BEFORE the match was applied. I'm filled with gratitude.
I am still working on my mileage goal, but I re-pledge myself to accomplishing the goal and will keep you posted through updates. Love to all!
P.S.: Picture from the Alberta Bad Lands at Drumheller (last month) with the Red Deer River in the background.

Ride 6 - Back in the Sun
13 Aug 2024Back outside today as the weather (sun at least) cooperated. Wind is another matter but that’s riding.
Nice to be back at it. This ride brought me to over half of my ride goal. I’m on track to meet and/or surpass the goal.

Ride #3 - Two Concession Loop
8 Aug 2024Out by myself today for a windy, cool ride. I felt good going up some of the hills on the area, knowing that the children who are fighting cancer are fighting much harder than any 11% grade. These little heroes are a motivation to me for sure, as are the MANY people in my life who have and are battling cancer. It's a humbling experience for sure. Love to all!
