My Story

25 Jul 2025

This August, I am 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 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.

Please support me by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.

Your support will change little lives.

Thank you.

Ivonne

    “Hola Ron! Thank you so much! We did 60km to Port Hope. With an elevation gain of 460 mts. It was crazy!!!!! Too too hot. Plus the weight of the panniers if you consider we are carrying kitchen, closet and a bedroom haha. Per say. It will be hard for sure. I had repented most of my sins I believe 🙃 I’m will be fun!!! Thanks so much for supporting in such a generous way, highly appreciated.”
