My Story

25 Jul 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.

Mary

My Challenge

Training for August

16 Jul 2025

I hate to admit it but I am in terrible shape this year. I can blame life circumstances but I think there is a good amount of laziness and procrastination. That being said, I am out on the bike daily. I am back to doing some conditioning exercises and best of all hula hooping. I love hula hooping!

I will be writing short blogs to keep you in the loop. I do have a wonky right knee but as a good (not)therapist I have self diagnosed and am treating it based on the diagnosis. I will probably end up in proper therapy in September.

Thank you for your support. Enjoy this beautiful summer.
