I reconnected with cycling in the spring of 2003 after retiring from the sport of rugby. I immediately regretted all those years in the gym trying to bulk up! Slowly after many years of riding I have shed a good deal of the rugby weight but still tip the scales well above the average for a cyclist (yes, I now obsess about losing weight not gaining it!!!). However I’ve not let that stop me and take to cycling with a passion. Just this fall I tried the cyclocross version of cycling and was instantly taken by it. I have a mountain bike too and every time I ride it I wonder why I would ever want to ride on the road again. However, the road is where my passion for cycling lies. Riding solo with only my thoughts, or in a group chatting for hours, road cycling is now a part of my lifestyle. The fact that I can use a part of my life that I am so passionate about to help others is incredible. Read More »

Introducing another great video by Victor Crowl at http://smfp.tv/ – creating a promotional video of how a small foundation of a few people trying to race across America turned into the great foundation that we have become.
Raising over $12 million to help kids with cancer, we’ve grown with 7 Tour for Kids Ontario, 3 Tour for Kids in Alberta, going on our 3rd Sears National Kids Cancer Ride, year-round Inside Rides, introduced Strut for a Cure and Golf against Kids Cancer and we promise to do so much until we don’t have to hear the words “your child has cancer” anymore

What an incredible start to Tour for Kids Ontario 2010! With cyclists in record numbers this year, including over 500 cyclists and raising over $1 million for kids with cancer!
After some inspirational words from our fearless leader, Jeff Rushton, we heard some words of encouragement from Chuck Ealey, of Investor’s Group, Tour for Kids’ presenting sponsor. Chuck spoke of the impact that childhood cancer has on families and the importance of raising awareness to the leading cause in childhood deaths.
We also got to hear from Trevor Campbell, a survivor of childhood cancer and a camper and counselor at the camps directly benefitting from Tour for Kids’ involvement. Trevor is the son of one of amazing volunteers, Karen Campbell, and he spoke of how important the camps were to him growing up.
As we kicked off Tour for Kids, we had a few moments to reflect on the importance of why we were here: to help support children and their families living with and beyond cancer.
Stay tuned for more photos and video as we continue the Tour!
