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
I am pleased to announce my participation in the Great Cycle Challenge once more, a cause that I am deeply committed to supporting. This will be my ninth consecutive year participating in this remarkable event, during which I have amassed an impressive 6,051 kilometres and raised over $$67,845.19 I am immensely proud of the accomplishments I have achieved thus far, which are a testament to the unwavering support of my generous donors.
The Great Cycle Challenge will take place from August 1st to August 31st, and I will commence recording my mileage during that period. However, I have already commenced rigorous training to ensure that I am fully prepared for the challenges that lie ahead.
It is disheartening to learn that over 1,400 children are diagnosed with cancer annually in Canada. While this is a profoundly sad reality, it is also a cause that I am passionate about advocating for. Children should be able to experience life to the fullest, without the burden of battling cancer.
Therefore, I am raising funds through my participation in the Great Cycle Challenge to support the SickKids Foundation. Their exceptional work in developing treatments and seeking a cure for childhood cancer is truly commendable.
I would be deeply appreciative if you could extend your support by donating to this cause. Every contribution, regardless of its size, will make a tangible difference in the lives of these remarkable children.

Thank you for your unwavering support. I eagerly anticipate pedalling my way to victory and making a positive impact on the lives of these exceptional children.
