TO MY COMPASSIONATE SUPPORTERS :

This is my third year supporting children's cancer research and I'm very happy that you my great caring supporters raised $5,124 last September for such a worthy cause. There are a lot of good people in this world and the amount of support for these children is testament to that.

Your support is very much needed and appreciated.

We welcome a cute little girl Lila who recently joined the GCC community.

She has been battling cancer and various other health issues since before birth when she had a stroke while still in the womb leaving her non verbal. Her positive and endearing demeanor is an example we can all learn from.

I will carry her in my thoughts throughout September.

On a different note over the winter I was informed I'm cleared of Melanoma which I've had since 2022. I'm now facing a new obstacle having been diagnosed needing double bi pass surgery.

I have not quit training and I will be ready. Surgery is planned for October following the event.

As part of 1000 miles I pledged I will pedal 200 miles solo in a day in memory of my mother Connie Kuttner which is by far the longest ride of my life and should take 16~18 hours ( 2 a.m.-7 p.m.) if all goes as planned. I get vertigo and have never ridden at night so that should be interesting. Anyway that is my goal. Your support is very much appreciated.

KIDS SHOULD BE LIVING LIFE,

NOT FIGHTING FOR IT

I'm raising funds through my challenge to help these kids and support the SickKids Foundation to allow them to continue their work in developing treatments and finding a cure for childhood cancer.

Thank you for caring and supporting children's cancer research.
