My Story

31 Aug 2025

I have reached my fundraising goal of $5,100 and my 7 year goal of $20,000!

Thx to all and especially Charlotte, my support rider.

Over 1,700 children are diagnosed with cancer every year, and it's the biggest killer of children from disease in Canada. Chances are that we all know someone or a friend of a friend that has had this disease touch their lives in one way or another; and I hope this challenge takes us one step closer to making that a memory instead of a reality.

I'm 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 so let's help kids be kids; cancer free.

Thank you <3
