I'm Riding For

Atlas van Loenen

Atlas, a vibrant and healthy boy, was suddenly diagnosed with a rare brain cancer just days after his first birthday. Atlas underwent four brain surgeries. He endured five months of intensive chemo treatment, including two bone marrow transplants, in an effort to extend his life. Side effects from treatment kept Atlas inpatient at the hospital for months at a time. Sadly, the cancer was too aggressive, and Atlas was taken from us in April 2021, just eight months after his diagnosis. This bright, happy, clever, adorable soul is deeply missed by all who had the privilege of loving him. Atlas loved his older brother Ezra to pieces and was able to briefly meet his younger brother Ozias. His family welcomed another brother, Isaac, in 2023 and sister Azalea in 2024. Surely, he would have loved getting up to all sorts of shenanigans with them all - and been just as sweet and bright as they are. He will forever be a loved and cherished member of our family and will not ever be forgotten. Xoxox

My Story

27 May 2025

This August, we are 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 we are raising funds through our 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 us by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.

Your support will change little lives.

Thank you.
