My Story

4 Aug 2025

July 31 ....

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.

August 03 Day 3 ...

So, on the first ride I thought about the kids we are all riding to support. But, today I thought about the parents and how difficult it must be to hear a cancer diagnosis for your child and how hard it must be to watch the treatment plan unfold as your child has to struggle through the treatment and the side effects. I hope each set of parents have found a strong support system by reaching out to family and to friends.
