I'm Riding For
My brother Gordon Spencer Muma
Remembering my brother Spence. He was one of my biggest encouragers and continually promoted my GCC fundraising. He will always be missed and has left a huge hole in my life. Love you Spence.
My Story
For the SEVENTH year, this August I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge ride to fight kids' cancer. Over the past 6 years I have ridden a total of 6,152 km during the challenge, and 15,408 km in total. Most import though, is that because of the generous donations from my sponsors, we have raised $30,971 in support of cancer research for the Sick Kids Hospital Foundation.
I'm back on my bike again this year and looking forward to pedaling my way past my goal this year and raising funds to help fight childhood cancer. This will certainly be a challenge for me, and I know that many of the 1,400+ children who are diagnosed with cancer every year would love to be able to do something like this, but unfortunately they often struggle just to get out of their hospital bed. Cancer is the biggest killer of children from disease in Canada and so I ride for them. Those children are facing challenges that I cannot even imagine yet they push on with the hope to be able to one day ride in the Great Cycle Challenge themselves..... a dream and hope that they strive for.
Please, join me in this challenge by helping me to reach my fundraising goal. Together, I know we will make a difference which is why I am taking part in this challenge.... to help these kids and support SickKids Foundation in their mission to develop treatments and find a cure for childhood cancer.
Your support will change little lives.
Thank you. Al

Month is 75% done and I’m 90% of the way
23 Aug 2026This month I promised to ride 1,000 km and as of today, Sunday August 23rd, I have peddled my way through 905 km and have only 95km to go!
To get this far I have been on 43 rides and spent 60 hours in the saddle and my elevation gain, the total height of all hills combined, has been 11,775 metres …. like one big hill, about 11.5km high! That is as high as jet airliners fly 😁.
But I’m not done and when I reach 1,000 km I will keep on going.
And the best part….. Thanks to you, my supporters, we have raised $9,127 to help flight childhood cancer ❤️
