This August, Up & Down 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.
Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.
So we are raising funds through our 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 us by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.
Your support will change little lives.
Thank you.

“Thank you Catherine so much for your generous donation and support. I sincerely hope your child is doing well and can look forward to growing up free from pain and hardship. Yesterday, I rode 64 km, half of it in the rain on a muddy trail. For a moment, I felt sorry for myself, but then I thought of you and your Kiddo’s journey, and it quickly put everything in perspective.”
