My Story

7 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.

My Challenge

  • 28 Aug 2025

    Yay! I did it! Just totalled 155km of my 150km goal! It may not seem like much compared to others, but judging from the amount of sweat I am producing, trust me, I am doing my best!

    Thank you all for donating, as it has kept me motivated to keep on going. And thanks for caring for the kids. It is the millions of kind-hearted people like you who make positive changes happen. I am glad to know you all.🥰

    (If you know anyone who might like to donate, please let them know about this cause and my page. There are only 4 days left of this year's Great Cycle Challenge Canada.)
