My Story

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.

Zara

    “OMG SHANNON!!!! Thank you so much for the support!! It seriously means a lot. 🙌 I got a new bike about a year ago and recently upgraded again! I think I’m becoming a little obsessed 😅 The Great Cycle Challenge is such a great cause, and I’m genuinely excited (and a bit nervous) to get out there and push myself. The ride kicks off in August, and knowing you’ve got my back is the best motivation! <3”

    “Hi Tomomi, Thank you so much for your generous donation to my Great Cycle Challenge ride! Your support really means a lot. We’re now halfway through August, and I’ve already done 11 rides—about 150 km so far! With just 50 km to go, I’m feeling stronger every day… strong enough that I might even need to increase my goal. 🚴‍♀️ The challenge has been such a rewarding experience, and knowing that your donation is helping SickKids Foundation fund research, treatments, and care for kids with cancer makes every kilometre even more meaningful. Thanks again for being part of this journey with me—it’s truly motivating to know I have your support!”
