I'm fundraising for...
June 25, 2024 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Like being locked into a roller coaster ride you can't get off, this past year has been filled with highs, lows, twists and turns.
To mark the end of treatment (and stepping off the roller coaster) we've created a team for the Cancervive Ride for Wellspring.
Wellspring provides FREE services to people with cancer, and their caregivers, and has been a godsend for me throughout. I take restorative yoga there twice a week, and I've taken their brain fog, return to work and healing journey courses. They are a truly amazing organization and have been my safe space and community this past year.
I invite you to help me reach my fundraising goal as I participate in a 1-day bike ride through Banff National Park.
Every dollar makes a difference in the lives of someone living with cancer. Thank you!

Practice Ride in Canmore
Monday 11th Aug
I’m so grateful for the amazing support I’ve received so far in my fundraising for Wellspring through the Cancervive 25km bike ride this September. Every message, donation, and bit of encouragement has meant the world. 💛
This weekend, Christian’s cousin and wife (and two of our favourite people), Ray & Sue, joined us for a practice ride along the beautiful Legacy Trail from Canmore. We rode 10km out and back, and I’m happy to report—it went really well!
Everyone was kind enough to let me lead the pack to set the pace, and the weather couldn’t have been better—warm, with just enough cloud cover to give us those perfect pockets of shade. We stopped halfway at a lookout to take in the views, catch our breath, and enjoy a snack before heading back.
The best part? I finished feeling strong and confident, which was such a relief. It’s reassuring to know the 25km ride in September is doable. I’ll keep up my training over the next few weeks and am so looking forward to the big day!
Thank you again for cheering us on XOXO
