I'm Riding For

Jennifer (Osborn) Gougeon

I am also riding for my adult daughter Jennifer. She has been through her fight with cancer and has it now in remission hopefully. Cancer has claimed the lives of both of my brothers-in-law. I am also riding for a fellow firefighter whose child had this horrible disease,

My Story

15 Jun 2025

Hey everyone! I’m back at it again, taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to raise funds for kids fighting cancer!

This will be my ninth year riding for this amazing charity, and I’ve already ridden an incredible 6,051 km and raised over $66,715.65. I’m so proud of what I’ve accomplished so far, thanks to my very generous donors. I’m excited to continue this journey.

The Great Cycle Challenge runs from August 1st to August 31st, and I can’t start recording my mileage until then. But I’m already training hard to make sure I’m in top shape for the challenge.

Did you know that over 1,400 children are diagnosed with cancer every year in Canada? It’s heartbreaking, but it’s also a cause that I’m passionate about fighting. Kids should be living life to the fullest, not fighting for it.

That’s why I’m raising funds through my challenge to support the SickKids Foundation. Their work is incredible, and they’re doing everything they can to develop treatments and find a cure for childhood cancer.

I would be so grateful if you could support me by donating to this cause. Every little bit counts, and it will make a real difference in the lives of these kids.

Thank you for your support! I can’t wait to pedal my way to victory and make a positive impact on the lives of these amazing kids.

“Hey Craig, thanks a lot, you are my first donation this year! I’m so grateful. Since I started riding for Kids Against Cancer, I’ve logged 6,051 km and raised $66,715.65. Not bad for an old geezer like me, huh? Mileage can only be recorded in August, so I’ve been practicing my riding skills now. Your support is greatly appreciated, so thanks again!”
