Goal met!

A huge thank you to everyone who donated to my Great Cycle Challenge this year. ❤️🚴‍♀️

Together, we’ve surpassed my fundraising goal and are helping raise money for childhood cancer research and treatment.

This cause is incredibly personal to me because of my goddaughter and best buddy, Emma Clarke, who bravely fought cancer and passed away in 2020. I ride in her memory, and every donation means so much—not just to me, but to the kids and families who are still fighting.

Thank you for believing in this cause, cheering me on, and helping me turn all those kilometres into something meaningful. I’m so grateful for every single donation.

For Emma, and for every kid still fighting. 💛🎗️🚴‍♀️

74kms in, 126kms to go.

Thank you so much for your incredible support! I’ve now ridden 64.8 km towards my 200 km goal for the Tour de Mary, and so far, I have raised $844 for Kids' Cancer. Every donation makes a real difference—let’s keep the momentum going and hit that $1,000 target!

Why I'm taking part:

I'm proud to be part of Team TOUR DE MARY, in memory of Mary Power, who passed away from cancer earlier this year. Mary was the much-loved mother of our friend, Andrea.

This cause is also deeply personal to me.

Six years ago, my goddaughter and best buddy, Emma Clarke of Victoria, Newfoundland, lost her battle with nephroblastoma (Wilms tumour), a rare form of pediatric kidney cancer. Emma was just six years old and had a special love for unicorns.

She had an infectious smile, an incredibly brave spirit, and a way of lighting up every room she entered. Her legacy lives on, and I'm honoured to ride and raise funds in her memory to help fight kids' cancer.

Every dollar brings us one step closer to better treatments and, one day, a cure.

Let's see what we can achieve this year!
