My Story

1 Aug 2025

Aug 1st, 2025:

July 15th, 2025, I had no cycle. Even less confidence.

I had to relearn how to cycle.

Yes — this simple art, once second nature, had faded with time.

The bike’s finally brought & fixed, but what followed was tougher:

Fighting the naysayers — including the loudest one… my own mind.

💭 “What if I fall?”

💭 “You’re too old for this.”

💭 “Why now?”

But the truth is — every time we choose growth over comfort, resistance shows up.

Trepidation? That’s an understatement.

My first attempts were in my parking lot — a mix of stumbles, bruises, and rediscovered balance.

And then... a smile. 😊

And a forgotten art called cycling that lived only in childhood memory.

Yet today…

I completed my first 10K ride.

It wasn’t just distance.

It was trust in motion.

It was mind over hesitation.

A quiet but powerful reminder that the body remembers—and the spirit never forgets.

This journey continues from “Zen & the Art of Cycling”—a reflection on stillness, rhythm, and courage. But today’s ride wasn’t just about inner peace.

It was about purpose.

I’m riding to fight Kids’ Cancer.

For the entire month of August, each kilometre is a pledge.

Each turn of the pedal, a promise that no child fights alone.

If fear could be unlearned,

then resilience can be practiced.

One ride at a time.

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.
