My Story
16 Jul 2025
This August, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge again to fight kids' cancer!
Last May/June I had open heart surgery and have over 5000km on the bike this year already, so I should be able to do 1000km this month to help raise money for this great cause.
Why? Because right now, over 1,400 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.
Living with cancer myself for the last 10 years, cycling is a great way to stay healthy and support the fight against kids cancer.
Please support me by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.
Your support will change these little lives.
Thank you.
