• 1000 KM for $1000 – My Great Cycle Challenge Canada Journey Begins
    4 Aug 2025

    This year, I’m taking on something big. Not just big—epic.

    A close friend threw down the gauntlet:

    “Ride 1000 kilometers and raise $1000 for kids fighting cancer.”

    Challenge accepted.

    I’m joining thousands of Canadians across the country for the Great Cycle Challenge Canada, and my mission is simple:

    💪 Ride 1000 KM

    💰 Raise $1000

    ❤️ Help fight kids’ cancer

    Why I’m Doing This:

    Every year, over 1,400 children in Canada are diagnosed with cancer. It’s the number one cause of disease-related death in Canadian kids—and that’s just not okay. These kids are in the fight of their lives, and they don’t get to quit. So neither will I.

    This challenge isn’t just about riding a bike. It’s about showing up—day after day—for something bigger than myself. It’s about sweat, sore legs, long roads, and relentless purpose.

    1000 KM? Am I Crazy?

    A little bit, yeah.

    1,000 kilometers is no joke. That’s like riding from Toronto to Quebec City. Or doing 33 back-to-back 30K rides. Or nearly 24 marathons… on a bike.

    I’ll be juggling weather, time, fatigue, and maybe a little self-doubt. But I’ll also be riding with passion, purpose, and a whole lot of heart.

    How You Can Help?

    You don’t need to hop on a bike to be part of this mission. Here’s how you can ride with me, in spirit:

    🔹 Donate to my challenge page:

    https://greatcyclechallenge.ca/Riders/RodneyPeever

    🔹 Share this blog post or my journey on social media

    🔹 Cheer me on—your encouragement matters more than you know

    Every dollar raised goes directly to supporting life-saving research and treatments for kids with cancer.

    Let’s Do This Together!

    I’m not riding alone—I’m riding for the kids. I’m riding for the parents who never imagined this battle. And I’m riding for hope.

    This month, I’ll pedal through pain and exhaustion, through quiet trails and crowded streets, through wind and rain and sun—because every kilometer counts.

    Let’s turn these wheels into a force for change.

    1000 KM.

    $1000.

    1 huge goal.

    1 powerful cause.

    Ride on. 🚵
