Stronger Together: My 250+ Miles Ride for Cancer Research

This year, I'm riding over 250 miles from Niagara Falls to Toronto as part of the Ride for Myriam, a powerful initiative by Randstad to raise funds for cancer research. 🚴‍♀️

Some of you may remember my previous journey when I climbed Mt Meru in Tanzania as part of the Kilimanjaro Challenge with VSO and Randstad to raise funds for empowering women and girls in Tanzania. That experience showed me the power of pushing personal limits to make a global impact. It was humbling, transformative, and lit a fire in me that hasn’t gone out.

This time, I'm trading hiking boots for bike pedals but the mission is just as urgent. Cancer touches all of us. It took Myriam, the remarkable woman this ride honors. And it's still taking too many people, too soon.

My goal is to raise this fund for cancer research. Every dollar brings us closer to better treatments, earlier detection, and ultimately cures.

So I’m asking for your support. Whether it's $10, $50, or simply sharing this page, it all helps. I'm riding every mile with purpose, fueled by your generosity and belief in a better future.

Together, we can turn every mile into hope.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 💙
