I'm Riding For

Ray Jamieson and others

I’m riding in honour of several family members and friends this year, but am unsure if they want their names published on this page. Below is a photo of my father and I when I was quite young. My father died due to lung cancer at age 59.

My Story

17 Jun 2025

This August, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer! This is my seventh year participating!

Why? Because right now, many Canadian children are diagnosed with some form of cancer every year, and it's the biggest killer of children from disease in Canada.

Kids should be living life, and not fighting for it.

So I am raising funds through this challenge to help these kids and support the SickKids Foundation to allow them to continue their work in developing treatments and finding a cure for childhood cancer.

Please support me in this cause by making a donation (any amount is appreciated) to the Sick Kids Foundation to help give these kids the brighter futures they deserve. You will immediately receive a receipt for tax purposes too. Your support will change little lives.

Thank you very much for your support!

Mark

Ride 2 - Long Sault Parkway

14 Aug 2025

Today (August 14) I cycled the Long Sault Parkway along the St. Lawrence River with my cycling buddies. Warm temperatures today but not the hot weather we’ve had the past week or so. I didn’t take too many photos but did get in a group photo at the sign without our cycling gear! Great place to ride if you’ve never tried it (10 minutes from Cornwall) and close to Upper Canada Village!

Ride 1 - Amherst Island South Shore

6 Aug 2025

Did my first kickoff ride today. Took the ferry to Amherst Island early and cycled the south shore. I had a headwind on the outbound, tailwind back. Saw a deer, a fox, two swans flying close to me, sheep, cattle, purple martins, and a garter snake… pretty awesome for the first ride… and NO cars.

Thanks to those who have supported me both past and present!
