Michael Garron - an inspiration

Today is Kick Cancer’s Butt day for the Great Cycle Challenge. Each donation today will be matched up to $1,300,000 by the very generous Garron Family. Sick Kids and their fight against childhood cancers is very near and dear to the Garron family.

Michael Garron died at the age of 13 in 1975 of a rare form of cancer. Before he died, he told his mother that he was afraid he would be forgotten. “As long as I'm alive, no way will you ever be forgotten,” she replied. So on August 13th let’s all remember a remarkable little warrior. Thank you Garron family for everything you do to help healthcare 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Riding with Mika 🚴🏻‍♀️🚴🏻

Mika is my 11 year old neighbour who, when he heard about the GCC to help Sick Kids Hospital beat children's cancers, jumped in with both feet! "There are many people in my life that have had cancer, such as my mom, my grandma, and some of my friends. One of my best friends uncle just passed from cancer, and I want to raise money to find a cure." Wow, what a profound and powerful statement of commitment from a young man. I am honoured that the GCC has given me the opportunity to ride with my new young friend Mika. He is outstanding. I look forward to more rides with Mika.
