April Showers...

Well here we are, April 30, 2024 and the weather has decided to bless us with some much needed moisture. It's in the form of wet snow, isn't enough to accumulate, but it is snow nonetheless.

I won't be going for a bike ride today due to this and a few other factors. I will however be going for my monthly bloodwork ahead of chemo on Thursday. The bloodwork is to make sure I'm not battling any infections, and that my immune system is working properly and efficiently enough to receive treatment as scheduled.

As part of my treatment plan I will be going for a regularly scheduled cystoscopy on May 7th. If you don't know what that is..... it is a camera inserted into my bladder so the urologist can take a detailed look at how the lining of my bladder is healing from the most recent surgery, and to keep an eye on how the lining of my bladder is responding to the chemo. It's a necessary evil after so many bladder surgeries to remove cancerous tumors over the years.

Each treatment reminds me of why I have participated in the Great Cycle Challenge Canada to help fight children's cancer, and help the kids and their families navigate the new world of appointments, treatments, and WINS as they come.

I can't adequately THANK you all for the incredible support over the years, but I do need to continue asking for that support to continue. Kids should be outside playing, and riding bikes, not going through this battle like myself and far too many others have, and still are. Your donations really do make a difference.

Thank You.

WooHoo! Here we go again!

With the incredible support last year, hot on the heals of the previous years, 2024 has started with another Cancer Charity Bike Riding plan!

I won't be pushing myself quite like I did in 2023 when I rode through the mountains to Vancouver, but I will be riding to help the kids nonetheless. They absolutely have my support, and respect. Fighting cancer is the most difficult thing I've had to do. I couldn't imagine looking out a hospital window just wanting to be able to join the other kids playing.

That's why we ride.

Let's do this!
