I'm Riding For
Marilyn Violet Arial

Marilyn Violet Himphen Forrest Arial demonstrated a philosophy of friendship, loyalty and care. Born in Weston Ontario on April 22 1943 during World War II, to a soldier serving in Italy and his bride. Spent her first two years in a multi-generational household with her mom and grandparents before her mom married the man who became dad. Married the love of her life at 19 years old, raised three children, played a mean game of bridge and inspired her friends during book club meetings. Died thirteen years ago--on June 19, 2010--after a valiant battle with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Love you forever mom.
My Story
This August will be the sixth summer that I'll take part in the Great Cycle Challenge to raise funds to research cures for childhood cancer in the memory of my mom, who died of cancer in 2010. This year, I've upped my fundraising goal to $2,500 and maintained my cycling goal at 1000km, which was a super big challenge last year and will be equally tough this year.
The money raised during this challenge will go to the SickKids Foundation, which distributes funds to research hospitals across the country to continue their work in developing treatments and finding a cure for childhood cancer.
Please support me by making a donation in Marilyn's memory--or in the memory of your own loved one--and give Canadian children the brighter futures they deserve.
Your support will change lives.
Thank you.
