My Story

4 Aug 2025

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.

Barbara

My Challenge

  • 20.4 km ride - Holiday Monday - Monday, September 1, 2025

    1 Sep 2025

    After having upped my ride total for August from 300k to 350k and finally to 400k, the last day of the challenge arrived and I still had 25 k to reach my goal. But at last the weather turned from abysmal to beautiful: blue skies, moderate temperatures and there was no excuse not to get on my bike.

    I selected the easiest ride, along the Chelsea trail which is flat and scenic and made it to the Gatineau Yacht Club and back which brought my total kilometres for August to just over 400 k. Bravo Barb!

  • Meech Creek Valley
    23 Aug 2025

    Although it’s now known as Cross Loop I prefer the old name - Meech Creek Valley. Apparently at evening it’s quite common to spot black bears foraging for berries or checking out the old apple trees where once farm houses used to stand.

    But at midday we didn’t see bears, just field after field of Goldenrod.
