Over the past year, I experienced firsthand the incredible power of community. In so many ways, people stepped up to support me—offering love, care, and action when I needed it most. One of the most meaningful moments was when a group of ten incredible women came together to ride the Whistler Gran Fondo in my honour. Their strength and solidarity became a symbol of hope—not just for me, but for many others walking their own hard paths.
That ride sparked something bigger.
This year, I’m training to ride alongside them. We’re preparing for Year Two of Team KGT, taking on the Whistler Gran Fondo again on September 6th, 2025—125 km and 1900 m of elevation gain.
But this isn’t just about the ride. It’s about keeping hope in motion, raising awareness, and creating a lasting impact through shared challenge and collective heart.
Whether you're cycling, cheering, donating, or showing up with spirit—you’re part of this movement.Team KGT is for everyone who believes in the power of community, connection, and choosing courage, together.
The Power of Community
What does it mean to be part of Team KGT? It means more than just getting on a bike and riding. It’s about building a community that rises together, empowered by each other’s strength. Each ride is not simply a challenge — it is a testament to our resilience and commitment to one another.
When women come together in a supportive environment, incredible transformations happen. By challenging ourselves individually, we inspire one another collectively, creating ripples of motivation that extend well beyond the cycling routes.

Why Choose to Join Us?
This year, we invite you to reflect on what it means to challenge yourself. What if you decided to do something that pushes you beyond your comfort zone? Joining Team KGT is just that — an opportunity to step up, take on new challenges, and not only transform your own life but inspire those around you.
As you consider joining us, think about how your participation could inspire other women. By showing up and being part of Team KGT, you are making a statement, not just for yourself but for every woman who needs support and encouragement to pursue her own goals.
Discomfort and challenges can lead to growth; every pedal stroke is a step toward resilience. Together, we aim to embody and showcase this spirit of perseverance.
The Journey Ahead
This year, as we gear up for an exciting cycle, we will not only ride but also continue to foster connections built on shared experiences. Our Team KGT events will be filled with opportunities to grow — whether through training sessions, workshops, or simply enjoying group rides.
To those who may feel intimidated or uncertain, remember that it’s okay to start small. Every journey begins with a single step, or in our case, a single pedal push. We are all at different stages of our cycling and fitness journeys, but one thing remains constant: we are here to support one another.
We encourage you to take the leap and join us this year. Sign up, get your jersey, and become part of a narrative that challenges the status quo and celebrates the strength of women.
