My Updates
Tiger Coward and SickKids
Friday 22nd MayAs I prepare for my grand odyssey from Canada’s southernmost town to its northernmost town connected by road, I’ve realized this journey has taken on a deeper meaning — not just for me, but for the people who are following along and connecting with the adventure.
In these turbulent times, traveling across Canada and connecting with Canadians from north to south just feels right. On the surface, this may look like “just a motorcycle trip,” but to me it has become something much bigger.
One of the incredible people I’ve connected with through this journey is Ashley Nogueira, who currently holds the title of Ms. Elite Essex County, is deeply involved in fundraising efforts for the SickKids Foundation.
Our healthcare system — and world-leading institutions like — are part of the very fabric of Canada. They represent compassion, innovation, and hope for families across this country.
When Ashley asked if I would consider partnering with her to help raise funds for SickKids during this journey, I didn’t hesitate for a second.
I spent most of my working life in the hospital sector, so I have seen firsthand the incredible work healthcare professionals do every single day. But my connection to SickKids is also deeply personal.
In 1980, I lost all of my hair due to alopecia. Being “the bald kid” in high school during the era of perms and big hair was not easy. But there was one place that understood what I was going through: SickKids.
At SickKids, I attended clinics where I met people who genuinely cared and researchers who were working tirelessly to better understand and treat alopecia. I participated in drug trials, and although we never found the cure I had hoped for, I never forgot the feeling that some of the brightest minds in the country were trying to help kids like me.
That mattered.
And it still matters today.
So, I am proud to announce that I will be partnering with Ashley to help raise funds for the SickKids Foundation throughout this journey to the Arctic.
You can help by:
• Donating to the fundraiser
• Sharing the journey and fundraising posts
• Following along and helping spread awareness
• Encouraging others to support this incredible organization
More details on how to donate will be announced soon.
Thank you for riding along with me on this adventure.
