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.

Monica

    My first ride was solo… never rode solo before. It was peaceful and I felt super accomplished when I was done. I had a relaxed mindset. Didn’t seem that hard but I pushed hard.

    I bought a water bottle holder and a phone holder and thank goodness, a gel padded seat. So far, I only have the water bottle holder installed 🤷🏽‍♀️ I may need assistance for the seat. Might do the phone holder today.

    I used Strava to help me navigate. Seems like a great app to help assist on making a full circle. Kept having to stop to look at my phone to stay on track though. Ended up circling around once 😂 Definitely need the phone holder on today.

    Did a yoga class this morning to keep flexible and build my core. Looking forward to the next ride.
