My Story

20 May 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.

Lori

My Challenge

  • NAILED IT!
    30 Aug 2024

    I met and exceeded my goals for Sick Kids this year.

    I'm so happy to be a tiny part of this wonderful fund raising organization.

    Over the past 6 years, i've received 12 recognition jerseys and proudly sported each one this year on my rides.

    These kids are everything.

    My dream is for these jerseys to become collectors items because in the near future, no child suffers from cancer.

    One day, cancer will only be in our memory from the past.

    NAILED IT!

  • Praise to Sick Kids people
    25 Aug 2024

    Today on my ride, i proudly sported my 2020 Hero Jersey. A passing rider said "nice shirt". I told her i ride for Sick Kids and she said her daughter works there.

    A lot of people work for these amazing kids' health and wellbeing.

    Front end docs and nurses, radiologists, lab technologists, pathologists, volunteers, kitchen staff, security staff, maintenance staff, cleaning staff that ward off germs, IT staff who keep out other viruses to keep sensitive info safe.

    Everyone who walks onto the property is doing their part to heal these kids.

    Kudos to all of you who work with your hearts and skills to kill this beast of Cancer.

    This is my part.

  • CANCER CAN BE BEATEN. These rides are important!
    23 Aug 2024

    I hit my 30% day for kms today. Under 100 left to go. Yay.

    And more good news...

    My mom (80+ yrs old) was diagnosed with bile duct cancer last November. She underwent invasive whipple surgery in December. Today her doc said she is cancer free.

    My dad (also 80+) has cancer as well, but his hormone meds have kept it at bay for a few years now. Read that again, yes I said YEARS.

    Cancer can be beaten and controlled.

    New cures are happening every day that didn't exist mere decades ago.

    This is why I ride. To keep the good news happening for all families. Sharing a pic from today's ride.

    💗

    CANCER CAN BE BEATEN. These rides are important!

  • Technology and Heros
    17 Aug 2024

    Technology is great when it works.

    Ive used Strava to track my kliks and it worked great for most of my rides. Then this week it glitched. So next day i used the GCC ap. It glitched. So today i used Strava. Yup. Glitched.

    It took the wind out of my sails, so i manually calculated it.

    Then i started thinking about these kids who get their treatments and are on the mend. Then they have a setback. They just keep fighting with Sick Kids holding them up with loving arms.

    I qualified for my Hero jersey this week so

    I can't let my little setbacks stop me from riding for these kids.

    They're really my heros.

  • Hard things: 1/3 of the way with 108 km.
    14 Aug 2024

    Today on Beat Cancer's Butt Day, officially 1/3 of my pledged kms are done.

    I have a very good life:

    A comfortable home, family I love, and a part time job that keeps me learning every day.

    This is the one really hard thing that i do. It makes me test my strength and stamina, not to mention my balance. ;)

    I do this for the kids and to remind me that the important things aren't always easy, but they are worth doing.

    Hard things: 1/3 of the way with 108 km.

  • The Welland Canal
    13 Aug 2024

    I love the Canal pathway. I get to see ships from all over the world.

    This one was preparing to go into dry docks which meant it had to make a 90° turn.

    I always see kids watching the boats too, maybe imagining travelling to parts unknown and swashbuckling adventures on the high seas?

    Or becoming marine engineers.

    The canal is a wondrous place.

  • Sunday morning ride for the kids
    11 Aug 2024

    Gorgeous day to be on the beautiful pier in Port Dalhousie.

    I saw lots of healthy kids doing fun beach stuff and spending time with their families.

    My wish is that these rides encourage sponsorship to beat this awful disease so the sick kids can go play with their friends and families too.

  • First ride of the year
    3 Aug 2024

    Hello, as my friends know, I am not a cyclist.

    I only do this ride for the kids.

    Even my acquaintances remember that this is my ritual and wish me well when they see me.

    Starting my sixth year is so amazing. It truly is an honour to ride for this wonderful organization that helps little kids beat the crap out of this monstrous disease.
