I'm Riding for SickKids!

For the past 18 years, I have had the privilege of organizing and leading this ride in support of SickKids hospital. When I started, I never imagined it would grow into what it has become today. What began as a simple idea fueled by compassion has become a community united by one purpose: 

Giving children the chance to heal, grow, and thrive.

SickKids holds a very special place in my heart. As a educator of children with special needs, I have seen too many students and their families face the unimaginable. I've watched children spend countless hours, days, and even months within the walls of SickKids, receiving life-saving care, hope, and compassion. Their strength is inspiring, and the incredible team at SickKids continues to change and save young lives every single day.

This is why I started this event.  I put my passion for riding and desire to see every child healthy together.  I truly believe that every child deserves the opportunity to be healthy, to laugh, to learn, and to simply be a kid.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of friends, family, riders, sponsors, and supporters like you, together we have raised more than $1.5 million over the past 18 years. That number represents hope, breakthroughs, and brighter futures for countless children and their families.

This year, I'm asking for your support once again.

Please consider making a donation to my ride. No gift is too small, every dollar truly makes a difference. Together, our individual contributions become something extraordinary, helping SickKids continue its world-class care, groundbreaking research, and life-saving treatments.

If you are able to give, thank you from the bottom of my heart. If you are unable to donate this year, sharing my page with others is another meaningful way to support the cause.

Together, we can continue to make a difference, one child, one family, and one ride at a time.

Thank you for believing in this journey and for helping give children the healthy futures they deserve.

Please consider sponsoring my ride. Every dollar goes to buying items off of Sickkids wish list. 

Thank you for your support!
