My Story…
Why I’m Participating in EyeRide 2025
On June 21, 2025, I’m participating in EyeRide 2025, an event that’s much more than just kilometres on a bike. It’s about strengthening community, building resilience, and making a real difference for the blind and low-vision community.
I’ll be cycling with my tandem partner, Leroi, 130 km from Toronto to Collingwood alongside other sighted and visually impaired athletes. Together, we’ll push past limits, share stories, and support two small yet mighty organizations, both of which are registered charities.
BALANCE for Blind Adults provides essential services to help individuals living with vision loss lead independent and fulfilling lives. From rehabilitation and employment support to counseling and mental health programs, BALANCE empowers their clients to navigate life with confidence. This year’s raised funds will assist mental health and well-being programs, led by professionals with lived experience of blindness.
TRAILBLAZERS Tandem Cycling Club enables blind and partially sighted cyclists the freedom to ride with sighted volunteers on tandem bikes. This year’s raised funds will assist rejuvenating TRAILBLAZERS’ fleet of aging tandem bikes so they can safely support the mental and physical health of the vision loss community for years to come.
EyeRide isn’t just about raising funds. It creates opportunities and breaks barriers for the vision loss community.
Please join me in supporting this amazing cause. Every donation, no matter the size, helps create a world where everyone can thrive.
And of course there is baking!
$120 or above - I will deliver to you my world's best cheesecake designed just for you.
$240 or above will get you your choice of a multigrain sourdough loaf fresh and warm from the oven (with a wonderful aroma), or three baguettes (with instructions on how to freeze and reheat so they will all taste fresh and have an awesomely crip crust over a warm and tender centre).
Thank you for your generosity and don't miss out on some delicious baking!
