My Story

11 Aug 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.

James

My cycling goal of 200kms was made even harder last wednesday as I ended up injuring both knees (horribly installed new cleats on new cycling shoes BY ME). I have had to cut back both my hiking and niking activities to give the knees time to recover however I am determined to make my distance goal of 200kms. TY again and keep posting your rides. You and Lisa are real leaders”
