Join Doug, Linda and Bruce for TeamOceanside2024
1 Jul 2024This August, Team Oceanside 2024 is 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 we are raising funds through our 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 us by Joining Our Team or making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.
Your support will change little lives. Go to,

Thank you.

“Oh my God, you've done it again, `I'm gone for July but I have the temporary Okay from my Physio for the ride in August but I also have formed the TeamOceanside2024 if you go on my site and look at it to join our team? It's a simple formula where you register under the Team, put in your kms to ride in August (I use the formula you want to ride 100kms and your fundraising goal is $100.00, easy to do and if you choose to raise your goals to $150.00 you can or not? If I had 20 on the team and they simply raised $100.00 it all goes to the Team and that would $2,000.00 to our goal and as it grows we just increase the Team's Goal! As mentioned go to my GCC website and scroll down to the Team site and read about the ease of the program. Thank you so much for the McLeod family's support, you are quite the gentleman and I have enjoyed our friendship. Please accept my invitation for Lunch possibly next weekend or after we get back late July. THX Again, Brian!!!!”

“______________? Thank you so much for your wonderful and generous support!!! I feel numb when I can't shake your hand or give you a hug so please feel my warmth while you read this and know that this support goes solely to Kids' Cancer Research. My Grandson went through Chemo for one year and they still couldn't get it, they decided to try a ground breaking CAR T-cell therapy just discovered via Cancer Research and it worked and is now Cancer Free. Thank you so much again and when you see me and shake my left hand with yours and give me a wink then I'll give you a Hug-A-Doug and nobody else will know!”
