Riding to fight kids’ cancer

Mona Reck, a resident of Stratford, PEI, is planning to ride 200 kilometres and raise $1000 in August for The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) in support of its 10th annual Great Cycle Challenge Canada.

Founded in 2016, Great Cycle Challenge Canada has grown to become one of the biggest cycling events in the country. Over 150,000 riders from all provinces and territories have ridden 27.9 million km, raising more than $54 million for research, care and the development of better treatments and cures for childhood cancer. 

“This is the sixth time I have participated in Great Cycle Challenge,” says Mona. “During those years, I rode 2003 kilometres and raised $15,034.82. This year, I am aiming to raise $1000 and ride 200 kilometres.”
