My Story

31 Jul 2025

This August 2025

Next month, I am riding 555km in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer...

And my challenge starts TOMORROW!

Right now, over 1,700 Canadian children are diagnosed with cancer every year... and 4 children die every week.

Kids should be living life, NOT fighting for it.

Please make a donation and support my 555km challenge to end childhood cancer and save little lives.

My Challenge

  • Back in the saddle
    5 Aug 2025

    Third ride of the campaign.

    Hot day , but a nice breeze and the bike seat isn’t getting any softer ..

    Good news, didn’t fall off my bike today but almost got knocked off in the most unusual circumstance.

    I was riding down a rough road, heavy gravel , like a farm road where you might encounter a tractor maybe an ATV .

    Anyway, I’m riding along, sometimes in the middle of the road sometimes on the side wherever the smoothest path is that’s where I’m riding..

    Luckily I’m riding on the right when a truck passes me at 25 -30 miles an hour.. I didn’t see him or hear him until he was right beside me.. I didn’t call him some choice names that I’d better not repeat here .. WHO does this ??

    He’s kicking up a real dust like a prairie dust storm..

    Anyway, I survived and found a beautiful spot to take a picture and hydrate.

    3 Aug 2025

    Day 2 , saddle sores , ouch , but had a great ride despite the uncomfortable pain.

    Visited the location of our very first date and tomorrow is our 12th anniversary so it was timely.

  • First Day of the Ride
    1 Aug 2025

    Beautiful day to start the ride !

    I thought it started yesterday, that what happens you lose track of time days , months.

    Had my first fall yesterday ( my practice day) going up hill , I’m glad I didn’t fall going down this hill it would have hurt a lot more;)

    Today I thought I’d ride the Tom Thompson trail over to Meaford there is a few rough spots on the trail but there is alternate trails on the road but I chose the rough path.

    Guess what, I fell again going up hill so I didn’t make it to Meaford today.

    Had a great ride and saw some country I’d never seen before so that’s always fun.

    I sure appreciate bike shorts the extra padding definitely helps the saddle sores

    What’s the weight lifters line

Our granddaughter has embraced this concept and we’re very proud of her riding in her 3 year and raising almost $12,000 I’m not sure what you were doing when you were 12 but she inspires me to keep riding for TheGreatCycleChallenge. We’ve all been touched by cancer , losing good friends and our relatives far too soon . We have an opportunity to make a difference together and help children fighting cancer. Let’s do this together.
