Bruce Mitchell

Bruce Mitchell

Bruce a was a dear friend and mentor of mine who made a huge difference to my life and to the lives of the people he touched. He was a great family man and an exemplary educator, and gave so much to his community. He epitomized Sir Winston Churchill's statement on community service: "We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." Bruce, we miss you and your good work endures!

My Story

21 Aug 2025

This August, I’m taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer.

Why am I doing this? Because cancer is the largest killer of children from disease in Canada. Over 1,400 Canadian children are diagnosed with cancer every year. It’s awful to think of so many young lives struggling with this terrible disease.

Kids should be living life, NOT fighting for it. I am taking on this challenge to support cancer research and give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.

It will be a small challenge compared to what these brave kids face every day as they battle this disease and fight for their lives, not to mention the anguish and grief so many families experience.

So today, I'm asking for your support. Please donate through my fundraising page and join me in the fight to save little lives.

All funds raised will support SickKids Foundation research. Receipts issued

Many Thank for your support.

Ron
