My Story
Hello my friends,
It is time for me to undertake my annual cycle challenge to raise funds through this amazing Great Cycle Challenge, raising funds to support and help fight kids' cancer!
Did you know that right now, more Canadian children lose their lives to cancer than any other disease?
Kids should be living life, riding bikes, playing with friends NOT fighting for it.
My goal is to raise funds to support these brave kids and their families as they face the scariest time of their lives.
I have the easy and definitely fun part by cycling and raising funds while these children and their families struggle to stay positive, strong , hold themselves together. I cannot imagine. Especially now that we have been blessed with 2 additional very healthy and happy precious grandbabies (total 4 now!!) .
Any small donation would be appreciated, it all counts, it all adds up, it *will all* make a difference.
We are grateful that we CAN make a difference.
Should you chose to contribute, please make your donation through my fundraising page. Donations can be made now and anytime throughout the month of August;
https://greatcyclechallenge.ca/Riders/JenniferDecocq/d
Just an FYI, this organization is extremely low maintenance, very little overhead. Practically all the funds I raise will go to the SickKids Foundation to provide care, develop treatments and help to find a cure for childhood cancer.
I love receiving emails from the families and the children. They are so excited I have chosen to ride again, for them. Their pictures, their stories are all inspiring.
I love to ride for them💖
Again, it's the easy part.
Thank you for reading through this and considering supporting the kids.
Stay well, stay strong, keep moving any way you can.

Sarah Rose,
“Jen I love what you are doing! I would if I could, maybe next year. Having seen first hand the devastating impact that cancer can have on a child's life and that of his family, I wish we could eradicate this disease for these innocent babes. Research into causes of cancer in children is the only way to go, before lifestyle factors start to kick in. the road ahead of childhood cancer survivors and their families navigate is not easy and they need all the help they can get. Your dedication to riding for childhood cancer research is truly inspiring. It’s not just about the miles you pedal — it’s about the hope, awareness, and funding you’re creating for kids and families facing their toughest battles. Your effort shows grit, compassion, and an unstoppable spirit, and it reminds all of us what’s possible when passion meets purpose. Keep riding strong — you’re making a real difference! ⸻”
