For the 9th consecutive year, I am participating in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer! I am riding again with Team Sandy’s Sidekicks, in memory of our good friend Sandy Phillips, who had tongue cancer as an adult.

I am leading the way by donating CDN$90 ($10 for every year of participation)! A couple of years ago, I upgraded my mode of transportation to a peddle-assist electric bike & have set a more realistic goal of 500 km. I have set a $ goal to $2000, but keep in mind, that $2500 would put me into the Hero level.

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 consider matching my lead with this link: https://greatcyclechallenge.ca/Riders/DerekBoan.

If you are interested in donating to a tax-deductible, worthwhile cause, please consider supporting me by matching my donation, either on line or by messaging me, to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.

Or, even better, consider participating yourselves!

Thank you & keep safe.
