I'm Riding For

Charles Savely

Uncle Chuck was a chaplain in the U.S. Army and was a fine man taken too young from this disease. I’m riding for him and everyone who has fought - and continues to fight - this brutal disease. Let’s kick cancer’s butt together!

My Story

15 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

    “Thanks Mom! I stayed up late last night to watch the para triathlon at the Paralympics. The athletes in the wheelchair division were really good. I have submitted an “Expression of Interest” to Triathlon Canada to do para triathlons. One of the questions was about goals ranging from fitness to the Paralympics. I chose “Other” and said I want to do it for fun and to see how fast I can go.”
