My Story

22 Aug 2024

Hard to believe that August is almost over!

And as you can see, our campaign is in full swing! Riders all across Canada are engaged in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer, the single biggest killer of children from disease in Canada.

As we have been saying, kids should be living life, not fighting for it, right?

So I am raising funds through my challenge to help these kids and support the SickKids Foundation to allow them to continue their work in developing treatments and finding a cure for childhood cancers.

Please support me by making a donation to give these kids the brighter and best futures they deserve.

Your support will change these little lives. The life you may help to save may be that child who will grow up to save others. Wouldn't that be something? A miracle child who creates their own miracles!

Thank you for your support! Not asking for much, only what you can afford, what you can share in the fight for a good cause! And you will get a tax receipt! A good deal for a good deed!

Again, thank you, thank you and thank you!

10.7 km ride - Checkin’ Out The (New) Neighborhood - Sunday, August 3, 2025

We’ve Only Just Begun

3 Aug 2025

A great kick off to this year‘s campaign.

Personally, I’m off to a good start. But it’s not about me. It’s about the kids we represent, the kids we are riding for, the kids who are fighting a bigger battle than the aches and pains we riders are facing in this fundraising journey.

It’s startling to think that as we ride, we lose four children every week to childhood cancers.

Enough is enough. We’re hoping that the money we raise for research will help to determine a cure once and for all. And in the process of doing so, may these mighty researchers help to pioneer cures that will solve the problem of cancer in all of our lives.

Let’s think of the kids. Please support a rider. Whether it’s me or someone else, it doesn’t matter. It all goes to the same cause, the same purpose.

Help save a child. Help make a difference.
