tl;dr Please donate to my ride up Cypress Mountain on July 27, 2025, the Cypress Challenge. 100% goes to Pancreatic Research.
- On the occasion of my birthday on July 11, 2025 I’d like you to consider donating to the Cypress Challenge in honour of my mother Sofia who died of pancreatic cancer in 2013 less than week after being diagnosed. It’s a zero overhead ride so all money goes to Pancreatic Cancer research. We all have limited charity budgets and we’re still living in a pandemic until we get a sterilizing vaccine so if donation isn’t possible, please send healing and innovation vibes to the incredible pancreatic researchers at BC Cancer (and of course I’d love some good bicycling karma for the 12km ascent to Cypress!).

Thanks to my generous Cypress Challenge Donors
- A big thank you to the following folks for their generous donations: Kevin, Fiona, Richard, Chris, Dale, Brendan, Lillian, Mike, Mia, Ron and Natalie. You rock! I would love to bicycle with you up Cypress someday ! Or a coffee/tea/whatever at Revolver at 325 Cambie. Vancouver :-)
Thanks for all the great birthday wishes on FB and elsewhere:
- Don’t worry if your name isn’t on the following list, it’s because I am slow, you will get added eventually :-)
- I would love to buy you a coffee/tea/something :-) at Revolver at 325 Cambie Street someday soon. In no order :-) :
- Sally and Gloria (The Keg and a bicycle ride :-) before the rains start, ok?)
- Elena. I’ll make it Hamilton in 2026 I think :-) !
- Kirstie Wells and Heuer: Remember the good ole days of Social Media, neither do I :-) !?!?
