I'm Riding For
Donald “Pickle” Pardy
Our team is cycling in memory of a special young man; our cousin Donald. Donald was a very vibrant young man who lost his battle with cancer at the young age of 14. In June 2001, Donald was diagnosed with Ewings PNET Sarcoma and fought a very brave fight for the next 16 months. Donald passed away in October 2002 at Sick Kids in Toronto and now lives in our hearts. It is now 23 years later and our hope is that through efforts such as these, more children will win their fight. We miss you Pickle. XO
My Story
This summer, our family is 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.
ππππ€ π€ππ π¦ππ ππ πππ§πππ ππππ, ππ π₯ πππππ₯πππ ππ π£ ππ₯.
So we are raising funds through this challenge to help these children and support SickKids Foundation. This will allow them to continue their work in developing treatments and finding a cure for childhood cancer.
We have been so inspired by nana Bonnie, and her 10 year commitment to this cause. We are honoured to join her team, and this fight. Please consider supporting us by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.
Your support WILL change little lives.
Love, the Butlers

Strong Start
4 Aug 2025Finn started us off strong with his first ride of the month. Our 4 year old did a 4km ride toward their 50km goal. They want to spread the word about βkid cancer and itβs a bad thingβ π₯Ή We spent the day exploring Bell Island and didnβt get home until nearly bedtime, but this trooper was ready to ride. He didnβt even change his clothes or have supper first. Mom kept track of his distance as he rode and he wasnβt ready to head back home until he got over 3km. What a kid!
