My Story

13 Aug 2025

This August I’m taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer. Over 1,400 Canadian children are diagnosed every year. It’s awful to think of so many young lives struggling with this terrible disease.

I am taking on this challenge to support cancer research and give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.

It’s a small challenge compared to what these kids face every day as they 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 these little lives.

The link: https://greatcyclechallenge.ca/Riders/SylviaSamborski1

All funds will support SickKids research. Tax receipts will be issued.

Thanks for your support.

Sylvia
