I'm Riding For

Fred Pye

Fred Pye

I'm dedicating this year's Great Cycle Challenge ride to the memory of my dad. Cancer took him far too soon, and not a day goes by that I don't wish he were still here to see his family, his grandchildren, and the life we've built. Losing him taught me just how devastating this disease can be. Every kilometre I ride this August is in his memory and in support of children who deserve the chance to grow up, make memories with their families, and live long, healthy lives. Dad, this ride is for you.

My Story

28 Jun 2026

This August, I'm once again taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge Canada to fight kids' cancer.

Cancer has touched my family in a very personal way. I lost both my dad and my grandmother to this disease, and I know the heartbreak that cancer leaves behind.

Today, that loss hits me differently because I'm also a parent.

I can't begin to imagine what it would be like to watch one of my own children fight cancer. No parent should have to hear those words, and no child should have to spend their days in hospitals instead of on playgrounds, riding bikes, or making memories with their family.

That's why this August I've committed to riding 300 kilometres and raising $2,500 for SickKids Foundation to support life-saving childhood cancer research and care.

Cycling has become an important part of my own journey back to health this year, and I'm grateful that every kilometre I ride can help make a difference for children and families facing the fight of their lives.

If you're able, I'd be honoured if you would support my challenge with a donation. Every dollar helps fund research, develop better treatments, and bring hope to families who need it most.

Together, we can help give these kids the chance to grow up healthy, chase their dreams, and simply enjoy being kids.

Thank you so much for your support.

  • 300 km. One Cause. So Many Reasons to Ride.
    28 Jun 2026

    This August, I’ll be taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge Canada, riding 300 km to fight kids’ cancer and raise $2,500 for SickKids Foundation.

    This challenge is deeply personal to me.

    I lost my dad and my grandma to cancer. I know firsthand how devastating this disease is and the impact it leaves on a family long after the fight is over. In fact I don't know a single person who has not been touched in some way by this disease.

    As a parent I can’t imagine what it would be like for a child, or a family to go through that same battle.

    That’s why I’m riding.

    Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing my training rides, progress, and journey toward the start line in August. Every kilometre will be ridden with purpose.

    If you’re able to support my ride, even a small donation makes a real difference. It helps fund research & better treatments, and provides hope for children fighting cancer today.

    If you can’t donate I understand, following along and sharing my journey means just as much.

    Let’s do something meaningful together!
