My Story

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.

Monica

My Challenge

  • Summer in October
    7 Oct 2025

    I needed to do enjoy the outdoors while I could and what better place to do it than the beach! I was up early to watch my son play an exhibition hockey game and it was such a beautiful day! Great opportunity to use my new bike rack and used a different bike actually, due to the new bike rack. 🤦🏽‍♀️ It was a great ride with a warm feel of community along the way.

    I had no idea my rides would still apply after August! Next opportunity I get, Im out again!!!

    7 Oct 2025

    I did 18 kms on the last day of August and that brought me to 52 kms in total. I was so excited to have raised funds for kids with Cancer and accomplished the distance I committed to! I am so thankful for everyone who supported and me in my fight against cancer! I know my Mom and Gram are proud. Having lost them both to Cancer, I had them on my mind each ride.

  • Celebration Ride
    30 Aug 2025

    I was so incredibly excited that I reached my donation goal today and the weather was so beautiful that I couldn’t help but go for a ride! With only a few days left, I needed to get out there! After a little resistance from both Carter and our bikes, we did manage to load up and head for Brantford.

    The weather was perfect. We went on the same path we did the last time we rode together. We noticed there were less birds this time. We made it back quite quickly.

    Looking forward to doing my final ride solo on Sunday!

  • Beautiful Morning in Brantford
    9 Aug 2025

    This morning I went out early despite the air quality advisory. It’s not as hot in the mornings but was just as bright. I went in a few circles and turned around a few times but I made it back to my car in good time lol
