I'm Riding For
In Memory of Too Many Friends and Family that have fought Cancer & a nephew who passed away recently
This year may be my final big ride for this event. I will start a few days late due to travel and aim for 1000K. This is in memory of my nephew who passed away earlier this year in February. I am hoping to push through the $50,000 mark this year raising over $48,000 in the previous 8 years. Thank-you for your support for the Kids Fighting Cancer.
My Story
This August, I am and have been taking part for the 9th consecutive year of the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer! I am riding in memory many friends and relatives who have I have lost to cancer. Hoping to hit $50,000 cumulative funds raised currently I am at just over $48,000.
Why we do this: 1,400 children are diagnosed with cancer every year, and it's the biggest killer of children from disease in Canada. I am dedicating each ride to a specific person who has fought or lost their battle or one of the kids battling cancer currently.
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.

IT's Matching Day! Thanks to the Garron Family.
14 Aug 2024I managed to grab a case of Covid this week, not great timing. So riding indoors today and until I can clear symptoms. Not my preferred riding, outdoors is a lot quicker and enjoyable. But have to keep riding towards the 1000 K mark for this month.

Jolene says one more time hit \$50,000 cumulative funds raised and buy her a cookie monster stuffed toy!
6 Jul 2024The coach has spoken and hockey season is over. So Jolene is now coaching me for the 2024 Great Cycle challenge. She gets rewarded every 250 K rode in August indoors or out and when I hit $2500 or 1000K ridden she gets her Cookie Monster Stuffed animal. Jolene says support the kids Fighting Cancer and make sure she gets her coaching bonuses through August. Ride on.

Pre- August 2024 Message
31 May 2024I am currently training at about a 900 k per month pace annualized for 10,000 k goal. I am feeling good about doing 1000k in less than a month starting August 5 in my case. if needed will steel a few days from early September to make up for a delayed start. Really want to cross the $50,000 mark this year having reached over $48,000 with your great support in the past 8 years. Thanks for reading and supporting this cause.
