My Story

8 Jul 2024

For the past three years, I have ridden in The Great Cycle Challenge which raises money for The Sick Kids Foundation and specifically to raise money to fight cancer in kids. In all of these years, my supporters have exceeded my expectations and have made this challenge so meaningful to me. Not only do I get to do something that I love but I get to do good for others while doing it. So far in 2021, 2022 and 2023, my supporters have donated $18,325 and I have ridden a total of 3,781 km during each August. I am keeping the same goals for 2024 which are, riding 1250km and collecting $5000 in donations. It's not easy, but I know you are all with me.

Thank you.
