1985-2009 our son did not survive Ewing’s Sarcoma. Fifteen years later, there is still no cure. He is forever loved and never forgotten. I am riding in memory of Josh

My Story

27 Jun 2024

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

Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.

Our son Josh Olynyk did not survive Ewing’s Sarcoma in 2009. He had already survived Hodgkins Lymphoma at age 16. Despite, the best efforts of all of us, he slipped into the hands of God at age 24. It was the absolute worst thing that has happened to our family.

I am doing my part to help create and support research and treatment, and hopefully cures for various childhood cancers.

So I am raising funds through my challenge to help these kids and support SickKids Foundation.

My Legacy

Here's my personal impact over 2 years to fight kids' cancer and save little lives.
