My Story

2 Aug 2025

This August, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!

Why? Because right now, over 1,400 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. By supporting SickKids Foundation this allows them to continue their work in developing treatments, and finding a cure.

Please support me by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.

Your support will change little lives. They don't stop fighting, so why should we? They are our next generation.

Thank you.
