I'm Riding For

Roland Wilhelm

Roland was a great man and a true friend. He had the most incredible and welcoming smile. The kind that made you feel special when you met him. One of the people I looked up to in life. I didn’t know about the cancer until it took him.

My Story

7 Jan 2026

I lost both my parents, my best friend, and countless others to cancer.

Kids shouldn’t have to deal with this horrible disease, none of us should.

In the first Five years I’ve raised over $65,000 all for Sick Kids.

I hope to add to that this year with your help.

Thank you.
