Nora

Sweet Nora...we miss you and would give anything to have you back. I wish you were here so that your brother and sister could know you. No families should have to lose their beloved kids to cancer.

My Story

9 Aug 2025

Well, I know some of you in my entourage can cycle this much in a day, but this old, out-of-shape myasthenic mama is starting slow....

I plan to dust off my old bike, make sure it still has two tires, and cycle a minimum of 100km in August, my Nora's birthday month, to raise money to fight kids' cancer.

This beauty would be turning nineteen August 4th and would be home for the summer after her first year of university......if little kids didn't die of cancer.

If you need a push to get more active, come join my team or register on your own and challenge yourself to bike 20, 200, or 2000 km in August.... for your health, for kids and families fighting cancer, for Nora.

Please feel free to share! ❤️

    More than thirteen years ago, I said goodbye to Nora, the world's coolest 5 year old. Brain cancer was a horrible way to lose her.... It stole that amazing kid from me a little bit at a time, with new losses every day.

    This is the first year I'm doing the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancers, and Charles, Nora's little brother (who is now anything but little) has decided to join me.

    We're having some lovely family time camping in the mountains right now, and tomorrow we have our first ride planned.... Wish us luck!
