My Story

20 Jul 2023

This August, I am 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 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.

Ron

It is one that is very near to my heart because I have seen so many friends, family, former students, colleagues, etc… have to deal with this. I have dealt with it myself and it changes you and it is heartbreaking to see young children have to go through this so, thank you my dear anonymous donor for your support and kindness!!”
