About Bike for Happiness
Biking - an Adventure, a Challenge, a reason for a Smile
We are attempting a 200 km bike ride on the G2G Rail Trail from Elmira to Goderich and back on April 24th-25th to raise funds for The SickKids Foundation (Tech4SickKids Initiative). We feel it will take at least 20 hours over 2 days for us to complete, which will arguably be the hardest challenge we have ever undertaken.
Having been associated with SickKids for 3 years through working for Kawasaki Disease Canada(a National charity), we have seen the impact it has had on the children and their families and how countless kids are smiling today only because of it. Personally we are close to multiple families that rely on SickKids for their kids’ continuing well being.
We all know how fast technology is changing every industry, specially healthcare, where Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics is helping Doctors to find new cures at record pace, improving patient outcomes. Thus we want to raise awareness and funds for the Tech4SickKids initiative which aims at big-data solutions and a modern new hospital to support AI’s limitless possibilities.
Every cent counts and will be greatly appreciated, so please support us wholeheartedly in this endeavour.

Where Your Donations Go
100% of the funds raised are donated to the Toronto Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids). The $25 million funds we raise are for a new hospital to support modern health-care solutions. As we embark on one of the most innovative and transformative fields in medicine, our aging hospital is holding us back. That’s why your gift will support two key areas: to Build a New SickKids, which will include a state-of-the art Emergency Department and our Artificial Intelligence in Medicine for Kids (AIM), an in-house hub to steer AI projects from lab to bedside. If child health is the root of lifelong health, data science must start here. Our goal with these funds is to build a modern new hospital equipped for data-driven care—predictive, proactive and personalized. We don’t want to have to wait for medical complications to arise. We want to see them coming.
