My Story
This August, I'll be participating in the Great Cycle Challenge for my 9th year. I come back each summer because cancer is the biggest killer of children from disease in Canada. It’s heartbreaking to know that over 1,000 Canadian children are diagnosed with cancer every year. Kids should be living life, not fighting for it!
I’m raising money through this challenge to help these kids, support their families and support SickKids Foundation to allow them to continue their work in developing treatments for childhood cancer.
Please support me by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve. Thank you for your generosity 💙

Cyclers Shoutout!
17 Aug 2025Yesterday’s ride out to Belle River was an adventure. Tracey and I met and headed out with the intention to ride there, take a brief rest and head back home by noon. A flat tire caused a delay in that plan but tuned out to be an awesome experience as we met some amazing people because of my tire tragedy! A shout out to George, Marvin, Jim, Lori, Said and Marie who all helped along the way. Lori was an angel on wheels, she tried repairing it with her spare parts but our tire sizes weren’t compatible. Unlike me, she was experienced and shared her knowledge and humour. Mark ended up having to drive out to meet us where we traded off bikes. His for mine so I could finish the return trip. Replacing my tire tube is on the agenda this afternoon but for now, I’ll use Marks bike for my morning ride today. Kudos to Tracey for the great conversation, sticking around til I got it sorted out and making the most of a flat situation 🚲

A HUGE Success!!
14 Aug 2025Match Day was record breaking this year for Sick Kids through GCC! It’s amazing the difference we can do and it’s because of your support and generosity that it’s possible.
You've helped give these families a reason to smile and more importantly, you've given them hope for a cancer-free future and the support they need to continue their fight to beat this awful disease.
From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!!

Windsor Riders On The Trails
10 Aug 2025A long and hot ride to Belle River today. On my way out, I met another local rider named Tracey. She has had incredible success fundraising for Sick Kids and we hope to connect sometime during the challenge for a ride together.
On the way back, I stopped and indulged at DQ to cool off and get out of the heat. Then continued on and stopped in to visit a friend and long time sponsor. Those porch visits are a nice break on route to catch up and rehydrate.
Home briefly to shower before going back out on our bikes and meeting friends for dinner. It was a great day!

TGIF
8 Aug 2025Today marks a week since the start of the challenge. I’m going steady and am on track for achieving my kms. The funds are coming in and I know they’ll continue the more I spread the word and get out there.
Looking forward to Friday Night Lights tonight with Mark and Windsor Eats. A great way to unwind and wheel in the weekend!!

Ready To Ride!
30 Jul 2025Just a couple days away from making the miles count in this year’s Great Cycle Challenge. My bikes had a tune up and I’m pumped for a month on two wheels!
It’s been a hot summer this far so I’m hoping the temps are a bit more bearable in the coming weeks. Either way, I aim to complete the goals I’ve set for myself by the end of August. I’ll try to post regularly to keep you up to speed on how it’s going and where I’m riding.
Spread the word! The more people that know about the GCC, the more good it does. Thank you for your kindness and generosity!
