I'm Riding For
In memory of Arlene Mulder Papaioannou and all the kids still fighting cancer
This years ride is in memory of my daughter Arlene, who lost her fight in a battle against colon cancer in October 2018💔! While she was no longer a child, she was MY child! . Please help me to reach my goal of $15,000 or more this year. I’m trusting that I can count on your support again this year....will YOU be the one that pushes my numbers over the top? You sponsor and I will do the biking!
My Story
This year I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer again!
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. Let that sink in for a minute......1700 every year. While, unfortunately, some of those kids will NOT survive their cancers, but many do but remain in treatments. Then, the next year, and every year thereafter, another 1,700 kids are added to that. I have a friend in the GCC community who rides in memory of her baby sister, who passed away 56 years ago......that's 56 times 1,700 minus the ones who succumbed to the disease. That's a LOT of kids, and requires a lot of money.....THIS IS WHY WE RIDE AND FUNDRAISE!
Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.
My rides in 2023, 2024 and 2025 have surpassed my goal of $15,000 each year, so my starting goal for this year will be $15,000 again and will be adjusted as needed! I continue to bike in memory of my daughter Arlene, and riding and fundraising for all those still in the fight. I am hoping that you will continue to support me by sponsoring. YOU SPONSOR AND I WILL DO THE BIKING! Please support me by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.
Please check out my previous years stats in the sidebar on the left bottom of the page....$189,395.05 and counting, over the last nine years! YOU all helped me achieve that, and for that I am forever grateful!
This will be my last year doing this challenge, so I am really hoping to finish strong this year, but for that to happen, I need A LOT of support!
Your support will change little lives.

2 May 2026The second golf fundraiser is moving along nicely but there is always room for more names on the wheel! Did you know that the wheel allows for up to 500 names on it….wouldn’t it be great to fill a complete wheel?!!!
And while the golf fundraiser is rolling along , I’m building a package that will focus more on my home town of Ingersoll and surrounding area! And WOW, this package has a bit of everything….a bit of glitter, a LOT of dirt, some sweet treats, some fun stuff, some to keep your fur babies happy, oh man, I can’t even remember what’s all in it, but it promises to not disappoint! This is the largest package I have ever put together, and I am trusting that it will sell well! Be watching for it to roll out early in June (or perhaps even a bit earlier)! Just keep watching my Facebook page for it! I already can’t wait to promote it!
And why do I do all this….well, let’s remember that every.$25 donated for any of the fundraisers….its Always 💯 percent for the kids fighting cancer! ALL proceeds from ALL fundraisers are donated to my GCC ride for kids cancer! Let’s all work together to do this!
IF YOU BELIEVE IT, YOU CAN ACHIEVE IT‼️‼️

April 26, 2026 - first ride of the year
26 Apr 2026Well….I guess I lost something in speed over the winter, or can I blame it on a headwind….both ways? We all know that when WE turn, the wind follows suit!😂
But for those of you who know me, I’m more about fundraising than I am about cycling, although it was good to get out for a ride! That’s where YOU come in….like I always say, I will do the biking but I need ALL OF YOU to support with the fundraising….that's what ultimately helps the kids fighting cancer! So if you have already done so, THANK YOU VERY MUCH! If you have NOT, go to the link at the top of my Facebook post, click on the DONATE button, or the picture, and follow the instructions to make your donation.
Perhaps you are waiting to see whether there will be a MATCH DAY, where your donation has a bigger impact on my success in Great Cycle Challenge 2026! That works as well,.....just as long as we are all doing our part to help kids fighting cancer. They are counting on us to help!

17 Apr 2026Another day closer to getting the bike outside…the weather is starting to shape up as well. Spring is finally here by the looks of things!
Yesterday I did the wheel spin for the first golf fundraiser which raised $1150.00 to help kids fighting cancer! This afternoon I was able to deliver the prize package to Matthew Bannon. Matthew is always a pleasure to chat with and is a huge supporter of all my fundraisers! You too could become a winner just by getting your name on a spinner wheel. And while the first golf fundraising package has come and gone for this year, there is another one ready to go. Different courses, different driving range and simulators, but all for the same cause….helping kids fighting cancer! The flyer shows a start date of April 20, but since the first fundraiser is finished, the second one can start today!
Message me if you would like to participate….cost is just $25 to get your name on the wheel - buy more for more chances to win and we get to help more kids on their cancer journey!
And, the upcoming SHOP LOCAL PLUS package just keeps growing and growing…it’s got so much cool stuff in it, you won’t want to miss out on that one! Be watching for it after the golf fundraisers are finished! I’m very excited to be able to show you what’s all in that package, but first things first - let’s get the golfers on their way first!

10 Apr 2026I haven’t seen too many great golfing days so far, but they ARE coming! The first golf fundraiser is coming to an end, with a winner to be picked next week! Message me before April 15th if you want YOUR chance to win a lot of golf and golf friendly things! A winner will be chosen the following day!
And then, just a sneak peak at what’s coming up….on the heels of the first golf fundraiser comes the second golf package! If you missed the first one, don’t worry, there’s another one almost right after the first one closes!

6 Apr 2026I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend! Such a great reason to celebrate....our freedom and redemption came at a huge cost!
Last year's first golf fundraiser package raised a total of $950.00
This year's first golf fundraiser package has raised a total of $950.00
Let's see whether we can outshine last year's fundraiser.......there are still 10 days for you to get in on this action.....and remember, it's not all about the package, but the ability to raise funds for kids on a cancer journey!

5 Apr 2026The weather is starting to warm up and hopefully we have some dry non windy days coming up! Getting out on the bike is the goal. In the meantime, fundraising is continuing, and YOU have the chance to help! The first golf fundraiser is in full swing!

24 Mar 2026The first golf wheel is up and running, with many spots already spoken for! If you aren’t on the wheel, WHY NOT? It’s a cool package worth $965.00 which includes 132 holes of golf, a couple of hours on a simulator, a $200 gift certificate to get your hands on some really cool candy….Kandy Golf that is! Canadian designed clothing that works for more than just golfing! Super comfortable as well!
And while you’re still deciding on whether to get in on this action to help kids fighting cancer, I’m busy putting together a few more awesome packages for someone to win!
As well as creating these packages, speaking engagements also allow me to share about GCC rides and fundraising and why and how we do this!
Last night I had opportunity to speak at a local service club who have been a constant supporter to help in th fight against childhood cancer!
Once the weather gets a bit warmer, I hope to get out on my bike for a few training rides as well!

“Thank you so much Albert and Nelly for your continued support for this cause that is dear to my heart. Tomorrow would have been Arlene's 57th birthday, so definitely a more emotional day for us. I am gad Nelly is enjoying the "throw" everyday! I am trying to think of something creative to offer this year, but so far have come up empty.....I am running out of ideas I guess, although I suspect most people donate for the cause, not the prize! Take care and make sure you connect the next time you are out this way!”
