On December 28th 2021, I lost my wife, my soul-mate, my best friend, Jackie, to cancer.
She had been diagnosed at the age of 48 with a stage 4 squamous cell cancer and over the next seven years I watched her fight this terrible disease with the same determination and positive attitude that she exhibited throughout her life. She endured multiple operations and rounds of radiation and chemo. She won many battles. But ultimately lost the war.
Jackie was an Ironman, a Triathlon World Championship competitor, a CrossFit beast and one of the most beautiful people you could ever hope to meet. But cancer didn’t care.
This year in Canada, close to 250,000 people will be diagnosed with cancer and over 80,000 people will die from it. Around the world more than 20 million people will be told they have cancer.
On January 7th I will be leaving from Bangkok, Thailand and beginning a journey around the world on my bike.
I’m doing this to honour the memory of Jackie and her incredible spirit.
I’m doing this to raise as much funds and awareness as possible to be used in the war against cancer.
And I’m doing this to set a Guinness World Record for the oldest person to circumnavigate the world by bicycle.
Your support is greatly appreciated. Whether it be financial donations, sharing my story, following me on my various social media sites and blogs, logistics, or physically joining me for a portion of my journey.
The Princess Margaret is the most comprehensive cancer centre in Canada and one of the top 5 cancer research centres in the world.
Starting in Bangkok Thailand on January 7, I will be attempting to set a new Guinness World Record for the oldest person to circumnavigate the world by bicycle. A journey of nearly 30,000 km through 20 countries, ending back in Bangkok in November.
There's no doubt it's going to be a great adventure! If you think you might be interested in joining me for part of it,. send me an email through "CONTACT ME" and I'll answer your questions and send you my route schedule.
