I'm Riding For

Jolene

Jolene

In memory of a great companion, my coach, my buddy who also had cancer, and whom was part of the last 9 rides. And for a local child battling cancer a few doors away.

My Story

10 Aug 2025

This August, I am and have been taking part for the 10 consecutive year of the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer! I am riding in memory of Jolene my little buddy and for a young girl in our neighborhood battling cancer.

Why we do this: 1,400 children are diagnosed with cancer every year, and it's the biggest killer of children from disease in Canada. I am dedicating each ride to a specific person who has fought or lost their battle or one of the kids battling cancer currently.

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.

  • Matching day ride 3 x 3
    13 Aug 2025

    Well signed up late re to honor Jolene rode ride 2 yesterday another 50K to stay loose. For my 100 k commitment for matching day started about 6:30 am! Got rained out by 24K. Switched to indoors BC course for 49 K with my indoor setup fresh dry gloves and socks and software upgrade and HR sensor changed for Rouvy the indoor software.

    Then it was Sunny so finished 27 K outside and grabbed coffee, sandwich, banana and a lemon loaf at Giddy Goat. Saw 2 service dogs while there which is rare for me. Thanks for your support and reading this.

    I will ride until August 31st then end with a special closing photo and message. Until then a picture of Jolene my little buddy for each ride.

    Thanks again for your support Jolene’s memory is very much alive and she would luv the messages.
