Donor Spotlight | Week of November 4
Great Cycle Challenge
SickKids Foundation would like to thank the entire Great Cycle Challenge community for their participation in this year’s cycling challenge.
During the month of August, more than 13,000 riders from every province and territory across Canada set themselves a personal riding goal and challenged themselves to pedal throughout the month to fight kids’ cancer.
Riders collectively rode 2.9 million kilometers and raised an incredible $7.2 million for the Garron Family Cancer Centre, to fund life-saving research to develop safer and more effective treatments and find cures for all childhood cancers. This year marked the 9th year of the challenge, which has now raised over $50 million since its inception.
