My Story

3 Sep 2023

This August, I am took part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer! The ride is over, but you can still donate during September.

Why donate? 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.

Cancer also killed Mei Hwa, my wife for 34 years. (it’s hard to believe and accept that she died just five months after the above photo)

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.

Riding in service of others is also my way of recovering and coping while staying in shape.

Please support me by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.

Your support will change little lives.

Thank you my friends, former students and parents. You are all close to my heart.

“Dear Mr Heberer, Hope all is well with you, and hope your cycling has been going well. I was glad to have you as a teacher in high school, always enjoying your band classes which made me a better trumpet player and all outside concerts which I felt privileged to play in. I admire your determination to take on the cycle challenge to raise money to fight cancer, and wish you the best of luck. Looking forward to hearing from you, and I hope to see you soon. Sincerely Shravan”

“Hi Tex & Sylvia! thanks so much for your generous donation to fight children's cancer! I just returned from a tough ride. Very long and steep. (similar to the bike ride from the Saturna store towards the fog house.) Time for water and a shower! Have a great summer! I'll look you up next time I'm on Saturna (not sure when that will be, but eventually!)”
