41+ years cancer free this year!! Dedicating this ride to Rob Thomas, John M. & Barry G. this year. John and Barry are cancer free. Never give up despite the odds.

My Story

1 Aug 2024

Former Sick Kids patient in the early 80's and cancer survivor! 41+ years cancer free earlier this year!!

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

Why? Because right now, over 1,400 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.

My Legacy

Here's my personal impact over 5 years to fight kids' cancer and save little lives.

    Managed another two rides, yesterday and today to get some miles logged. Tough going against the strong wind but managed to keep going. If the wind would be calmer I can do longer rides out of town but lets not be too hasty, missing 1 year of riding takes time to get back on the saddle.

  • First Ride
    5 Aug 2024

    Took a big first step today and took the bike out for a quick ride. Everything felt wonderful, little discomfort and kept riding close to home to begin with. Still feeling well enough and rode to Wilks Dam, past the Brantford Golf & Country Club and Glenhurst Gardens, along the trail to the dam. Met a fellow rider and his wife on the same journey in support of this great cause! He had already logged 200km and his goal is 1,000km this month!

    Small steps for me at this point but it felt so good to be on the bike and riding again. The next day will be an indication if the hurt comes back or if I can ride again.

  • The agony of riding
    1 Aug 2024

    Still dealing with an injury which makes riding pure agony. One of the most difficult things to do is not ride my bike this year. I will try a few short rides to log some km's and deal with the intense pain afterwards but not like previous years when I could do 400km in Aug. and another 400km in Sept. This is very difficult to sit by and not be very active in riding but still have the passion to collect for the kids fighting for their lives.
