I'm Riding For
Family & friends touched by cancer
This is my 6th year to ride and raise funds for the Great Cycle Challenge. Every year this challenge touches my heart as family & friends of all ages are diagnosed with cancer. I am thankful to have continued health and strength to ride and support the SickKids Foundation for children's cancer research.
My Story
This August, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer for the 6th year!
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. That works out to almost 5 families receive this news in Canada every day.
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 consider supporting me by making a donation to make these kids overcomers and have bright futures.
Your support will change little lives and their families.
Thank you.

Strong Finish
2 Sep 2024The challenge of August is complete. Thank you to everyone of my supporters. Your donations took me way beyond what l thought possible to accomplish and l increased my fundraising goal several times. Your support motivated me to go riding in all weather. It has been an exceptional month made possible by you and some health to ride my old bike. So much thanks to each of you.

22 Aug 2024Feeling like l will be able to meet my km goal. 10 days for 209, however there is not 10 available ride days. $ sponsorship has been over my expectation. Thankful for such generous support of interest, cheering & donations. Perhaps l can also exceed my km goal. Lets hope for ride perfect weather.

North Wind Did Blow Hard
20 Aug 2024Brisk temps and the wind did blow and gust against me. I was determined to ride 50kms and get a bike photo at the Kelso Conservation sign. Wind provided green energy to blow me home.
12 days to complete 300kms.
Totally doable. Fingers crossed for a few more $$.

Ride for research
12 Aug 2024It is amazing to read about all the advances made in research for different types of childrens cancer. It takes an army to create such success. Each of us with physical health and time bike riding and fundraising providing $$$ for more scientific and medical research by those
gifted with such abilities.
