I'm Riding For

Kari, Mom, Dad, Uncle George, Deb

Kari, Mom, Dad, Uncle George, Deb

Kari was one of my "chosen" children, my daughter's best friend, my best friend's daughter, a remarkable young woman. Her death at 33 years of age shook our world and we miss her bright smile every day.

My Story

25 May 2026

This August, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!

Why? Because right now, over 1,400 children are diagnosed with cancer every year, and it's the biggest killer of children from disease in Canada.

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.

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

Your support will change little lives.

Kari was an adult when she was diagnosed with a rare cancer. She died at 33, way too young, with so much life left to live.

Thank you.
