I'm Riding For

My sister and my brother in laws.

My sister Linda was diagnosed with melanoma Valentines Day 2017, and has completed her treatment.However she still needs to be checked every 6 months and has an CT scan every three months , and each time, we as a family hold our breath. I will be riding for her and kids whom I have been introduced to through social media to raise money to help those affected by cancer. I enjoy this time to pray for them, reflect and continue to be thankful for the time, energy and strength I still have to bike for such a great cause.

My Story

28 Feb 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.

Liz
