Adam Polka's Pedal for Kids 2020

Collecte de fonds pour : Pédalez pour les enfants 2021

Riding a bike is usually easy (but don't tell my son - he's all turned around on the matter). Far more difficult is the uphill journey that sick children and their families endure; at any age, in any circumstance.
The fear and reality of illness has become all too tangible in light of COVID-19; but through it, there is insight into the hardships of those whose tiny souls have not been so privileged with relative health and wellness. While this year's backdrop is very different from the last two years, the stakes are the same. I hope that you will support my small effort to bring improvements to these young humans who live through the struggle and challenges of being immunocompromised, handling disruptions to school, figuring out childcare while managing disease, and navigating the emotional stresses of a sick kid.
The Foundation is raising funds for a neonatal transportation unit, a specialized piece of ambulatory equipment that regulates temperature and provides essential respiratory services to preemies. It is an honour to put my name behind this cause and to solicit support for it.
I am honoured to raise funds once again to help our youngest and most vulnerable hold onto the primacy of spirit and strength that promises to carry them through the hardest days of their young lives. I am honoured to ride for my dear friends whose children have battled illness. I am honoured to ride for my colleagues, some of whom have survived childhood illness, and others who have lost their children to it. I am honoured to ride for my son whose health I cherish deeply, and who has made the emotional impact of this fundraiser ever more powerful.
Thank you for reaching deep and donating generously. You are appreciated.
