I'm Riding For

Bruce

This year I’m dedicating my ride to @brucecoull. Bruce, an adult, was diagnosed with bowel cancer and is entering his fifth month of chemotherapy. His attitude is positive and his oncologist expects a full recovery at the end of this year. Please support my ride in the fight to end children's cancer so no child needs to endure what Bruce is going through.

My Story

16 Jul 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.

Here's my personal impact over 9 years to fight kids' cancer and save little lives.

    I know the struggles Bruce has been dealing with. I can't imagine how hard it must be for the children who are fighting cancer. Please help me help Sick Kids Foundation help the kids.

At 70 years old, Susan has been raising funds for nine years, showcasing incredible energy and zeal. As someone leading a campaign to raise $5M for Trillium Hospital by the Muslim Community, I understand the immense effort it takes to support such noble causes.
