My Story

7 Aug 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.

Rick

My Challenge

    1 Sep 2024

    My initial thought was to ride 500 kms and raise $500. As I progressed thru this month of riding the distance went to 750 then to 1000 kms. As the miles went up and the hills kept going up, my motivation to keep going was thinking about the kids we were riding to help. The second last day I logged 165 kms to reach my goal of 1000 kms. It was a tough grind but nothing compared to what the kids have to endure daily to just live. I’d do it all again to help these kids.
