I'm Riding For

Sadie and Julia

Sadie and Julia

For Sadie: it’s been an honour to watch you fight cancer with bravery and grace. You are amazing and an inspiration and I look forward to the day you are cancer free. You got this, girl! And for Julia: My beautiful niece, no one should go through what you did and no family should have to see it happen. For the past 15 years not a day has gone by that I haven’t thought of you. You fought so hard. Your strength has been a guiding light in my life. I love you and miss you.

My Story

29 Jun 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.

This is a cause near and dear to my heart. Not only am I riding in honour of warrior Sadie Middleton but in memory of my beautiful niece Julia D’Innocenzo who we lost in 2009 to leukemia. Julia was a fighter and wanted to stay. Unfortunately she had a markup on her leukemic cell that was resistant to chemo. Now 15 years later my following Sadie’s journey I see first hand the amount of progress made with research. If Julia was diagnosed today she may have survived. Your donations will work; I’ve seen the amazing results.

Please support me by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.

Your support will change little lives.

Thank you.
