This August, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!

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.

This year is especially important as I am riding in memory of my cousin Susan that was taken from this world too soon. Watching her bear the weight that is a cancer diagnosis with courage and strength made my resolve to help children in the same situation even greater.

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.
