My Story

18 Aug 2025

YEAR 5

This ride caught my attention a few years ago. I thought I would join, make a contribution, give me some time to think about my "Mom" and stay active. It is something bigger now, I never meant to ask people to support (an individual choice right), I never intended to "blog" but I started to think more about my Mom, my family members, hockey teammates and then we all have stories from friends about cancer's impact on their lives and families.

Nobody should have to deal with cancer. Cancer is one brilliant action (accidental or not) by a mind greater than mine to having a solution! Lets' crush cancer!

Check out my nephew, Nathan Tratnik. He is riding out of Victoria BC.

Breathe deeply, smile often, find the "good"...

“I have a lot of admiration for my brother on many counts; Stu is a pretty humble person and his work on this ride for "the kids" is for me so very impressive. Yes, I want to support him and the cause but this year in the news that my good friend Shannon-Lee has recently lost her Mom, my donation to a charity of my choice is to this ride - Wishing you the best in meeting your goal Stu!”

“That a wrap for 2025! Will post one last blog to let everyone know the final totals for the 2025 ride. Not sure how many August rides I have left into the future but hoping to to share good news about efforts to solve cancer. If we have one "hero" in Canada - let it be Terry Fox. We are fighting for every child and person in Canada and around the world.”
