This August, Lyle and I thought we'd take part in the Great Cycle Challenge a second time to fight kids' cancer.

We are helping fight for children suffering from Cancer and their families, believing no child should have to be fighting for their very lives, and are hoping the funds we raise along with everyone else partaking in this challenge, will make their lives just a little brighter and bring a cure for each one of them.

Also, we didn't share this last year, but Tara was a patient herself of SickKids Hospital from the age of 2 years old to 3-1/2 years old. I didn't have Cancer, but had seizures that they couldn't diagnose for that length of time. I stayed in for a few months, then was back and forth from St. Catharines for the next year afterwards. I still have snapshot memories from SickKids- one of my hospital room, and one of volunteers giving me a doll for my own. The things they do in addition to the care they give is just as important.

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 their lives, not fighting for them.

If you feel you'd like to help us, we thank you for making a donation to give these children the brighter futures they deserve. Thanks so much!

Lyle and Tara
