My Story

14 Aug 2024

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

Why? Because right now, over 1,400 children are diagnosed with cancer every year, and it's the biggest killer of children from disease in Canada. Not only have I worked with children who are actively fighting cancer, but have also experienced the upheaval of having this disease - and witnessed them courageously receiving treatments when going for supportive treatments at the Ottawa Integrative Cancer center (OICC).

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 kindly.

Kira

Goals Being SMASHED!!

30 Aug 2024

Longest cycle ride of my life (so far), 61 KM, check and my personal goal of 300 KM complete! Nora's jersey came today, too, what perfect timing. 😉

Team Miles to Kick Childhood Cancer's Butt has surpassed their individual and collective KM goal with a whopping 741 KM.

We are at $1401.20 of our collective $1500 goal, so $99 away from achieving that. If you have not donated, and feel so compelled to contribute to help us meet that goal, it's not too late. Links are below:

*Update: received a generous $100 donation and we have now reached our team fundraising goal!* 😃

Kick Cancers' Butt Day - A HUGE Success thanks to YOU!! <3

15 Aug 2024

...Drumroll please!!!!

In a mere 24 hours, I have managed to surpass my individually set fundraising goal for Great Cycle Challenge Canada, sitting now at $505! This likely would not have been seen without the generousity of the Garron family who matched donations up to a certain amount for 'Kick Cancer's Butt Day' yesterday.

As a team, we are sitting at 74% of our collective fundraising goal, $1103/$1500 (pretty wild, too)!

My Mamabear Judy Tompkins is kicking butt and could use some support meeting her individual fundraising goal, and same with my niece, Heather Baskerville (Nora Morin)! ❤

I am now encouraging those who are inspired to donate to this very worth cause to donate to them, or the team as a whole. Links are below:
