I'm Riding For
Bob, aka Sandy, Phillips
Sandy was an avid global cyclist & although he survived tongue cancer, the aggressive treatment likely contributed to his early demise, almost a decade ago, at age 58 . . .
My Story
For the 8th consecutive year, I am participating in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer! I am riding again with Team Sandy’s Sidekicks, in memory of our good friend Sandy Phillips, who had tongue cancer as an adult.
I have updated my photo & donated a dollar for every lap around the sun that I have done! Last fall, I upgraded my mode of transportation to a peddle-assist electric bike, so have resumed my former km goal of 1000. I have matched the $ goal to $1000, but keep in mind, that $2500 would put me into the Hero level.
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.
If you are interested in donating to a tax-deductible, worthwhile cause, please consider supporting me by matching my donation, either on line or by messaging me, to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.
Or, even better, consider participating yourselves!
Thank you & keep safe.
