My Story

8 Aug 2024

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.

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.

Linda

    “Thank you very much, Linda & Daryle, for supporting my ride to gain funds to help fight Kids’ Cancer. This is a very worthy cause and has hit home with us personally with our oldest grandsons’ battle with non-hodgins lymphoma. After a year of multiple chemo and radiation treatments he met the criteria to be sent to Ottawa last January for the groundbreaking CAR T cell procedure. It worked! So far cancer free. This is why I am doing this so other kids can have a chance. Greatly appreciated.”

I do believe that medical science will develop cures for cancer. The CAR T cell engineering is showing positive results and has worked so far for our oldest grandson. We feel fortunate that he was able to be offered this procedure, as other more traditional methods of chemo and radiation were not making a difference. Good on you for supporting this very worthy cause. Thank you!”
