This year I’m riding for local teen, Kolton Byerley. May 4 2022, Kolton went to the Alberta Childens Hospital after suffering from bad headaches for a couple months. His family learned that he had a golf ball sized tumor in his brain. He was scheduled for emergency surgery to have it removed.
The tumor was diagnosed Medulloblastoma group 4. He had radiation in July 2022, the Chemotherapy started September 2022. Koton passed grade 9 and finished chemotherapy in January 2023.
Kolton is determined to keep pushing forward. You may see him working at his parent’s bookstore, Yooneek Books in Okotoks.
