I met and exceeded my goals for Sick Kids this year.
I'm so happy to be a tiny part of this wonderful fund raising organization.
Over the past 6 years, i've received 12 recognition jerseys and proudly sported each one this year on my rides.
These kids are everything.
My dream is for these jerseys to become collectors items because in the near future, no child suffers from cancer.
One day, cancer will only be in our memory from the past.
Today on my ride, i proudly sported my 2020 Hero Jersey. A passing rider said "nice shirt". I told her i ride for Sick Kids and she said her daughter works there.
A lot of people work for these amazing kids' health and wellbeing.
Front end docs and nurses, radiologists, lab technologists, pathologists, volunteers, kitchen staff, security staff, maintenance staff, cleaning staff that ward off germs, IT staff who keep out other viruses to keep sensitive info safe.
Everyone who walks onto the property is doing their part to heal these kids.
Kudos to all of you who work with your hearts and skills to kill this beast of Cancer.
This is my part.
I hit my 30% day for kms today. Under 100 left to go. Yay.
And more good news...
My mom (80+ yrs old) was diagnosed with bile duct cancer last November. She underwent invasive whipple surgery in December. Today her doc said she is cancer free.
My dad (also 80+) has cancer as well, but his hormone meds have kept it at bay for a few years now. Read that again, yes I said YEARS.
Cancer can be beaten and controlled.
New cures are happening every day that didn't exist mere decades ago.
This is why I ride. To keep the good news happening for all families. Sharing a pic from today's ride.
