I'm Riding For
In memory of my dear friend Tinh

In memory of my dear friend Tinh, seeing his positive attitude and smiles, never giving up in his battle against cancer…and knowing that we must find a cure for kids cancer. TOGETHER, we can find a cure! TOGETHER, we can make a difference for these kids. Please consider donating to help me reach my $2500 goal, to help end childhood cancer. To help cure these kids so they can all live healthy and happy lives. Thank you!🥰🐾🇨🇦🚲
My Story
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.
Jan

Day 5…riding for that cure!
6 Aug 2025Day 5…out to the trails and dropped another Kindness Rock. Might just add on another donation, you never know. 🥰🚲 Up and down, back and forth…are my legs getting stronger or are the hills getting flatter?🤣 We may never know.
One ride in the park and two more times on the Stationary bike, for a total of 20 km today. 😃👍🏻🚲❤️ This is NOTHING, compared to what these kids are dealing with. They get up…they get going…they keep smiling! 😃❤️ We’ve got this.

NO EXCUSES…
5 Aug 2025Day 4…didn’t go as planned, but that’s no excuse.😃👍🏻🚲 A shorter than expected ride in the trails this morning, and when it became obvious I wasn’t going to get back out on the bike, I just stayed in and got on the bike. Having a stationary stand helps! Another 14 km this evening, for a total of just under 19 for the day. These kids don’t get a break from fighting cancer. Good days, bad days, quiet days or busy ones…they are still going. So, so am I!🥰👍🏻🚲

DO WHAT YOU CAN…
4 Aug 2025“Do what you can, where you are, with what you have”.
Up and out the door very early this morning and not home till late evening…didn’t allow any biking time, but…these kids don’t get to just take a break from their cancer journey, so I’m not taking a break either.❤️ Stationary biking will get it done.
Got 8 km done towards my 600 km goal. We’ll get there.😃👍🏻Tomorrow is a new day and renewed effort…there is no giving up till we fund that miracle that these kids need, in their cancer journey.
We will do it…TOGETHER!!❤️🚲

PEDDLING FOR THE MIRACLE WE NEED…
3 Aug 2025Day 2…when I planned to “fit my ride in” to my day, it hit me that these kids and their families weren’t given the option of “fitting it in”. They weren’t given that choice. How lucky am I, to be able to help them, simply by getting on a bike and peddling, while asking others for donations.❤️🚲
Very, very thankful that I GET TO help these kids, and give them something good in their lives, as they do all they can to beat cancer.

Peddling for the miracle we need…
1 Aug 2025What a beautiful morning! Day 1 of GCC 2025.
Here we go…peddling for these kids, as they journey through their fight against cancer. They don’t have a choice, but we do…they need us to help find a cure. We WILL! This could be the day, month, year, that the funds we help to raise, fund that cure! We believe it will happen!❤️
It becomes pretty clear that you’re not a bike rider when the hills seem to jump out in front of you …where the heck do those things come from?🤣🤷♀️ The downhills are easy..🤣👍🏻🚲…peddling the uphills, I’m thinking about these kids. Their smiles. Their strength. Their determination and refusal to give up. I’ve got the easy part…supporting the GCC cause for SickKids. Let’s do this! Let’s find a cure for these kids.❤️
TEAMWORK!😃👍🏻🚲❤️
