My Story
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.
Monica

Celebration Ride
30 Aug 2025I was so incredibly excited that I reached my donation goal today and the weather was so beautiful that I couldn’t help but go for a ride! With only a few days left, I needed to get out there! After a little resistance from both Carter and our bikes, we did manage to load up and head for Brantford.
The weather was perfect. We went on the same path we did the last time we rode together. We noticed there were less birds this time. We made it back quite quickly.
Looking forward to doing my final ride solo on Sunday!

Beautiful Morning in Brantford
9 Aug 2025This morning I went out early despite the air quality advisory. It’s not as hot in the mornings but was just as bright. I went in a few circles and turned around a few times but I made it back to my car in good time lol

A quick third
6 Aug 2025Carter and I weren’t done yet. On our way home from our ride we stopped at his school where we road another 3kms. This helped me reach the 20km mark!!! It felt really great reaching that goal with him!! I thanked him many times!!! 😁
I’m looking forward to riding a new trail for the next ride, in my fight for a cure kids cancer!
I am so thankful for those who have donated to support me in achieving this goal! It’s very emotional for me having lost my Mom and Grandmother to cancer. I really can’t imagine what a child goes through.

Second Ride
6 Aug 2025My second ride was with my son Carter. He is 9 years old. He was so brave to join me in my fight for a cure for kids cancer. We talked about it. We were thankful for our health and we rode together for 5kms! He was a little unsteady at first. We started on the top of a 10ft berm and it was a little high so we turned around and went the other way and it made him much more confident. By the time we were coming back he wanted to go faster! It made me so proud! I am so thankful that he’s learning these healthy habits with me by experiencing them! What a great second ride!!!
