6th year challenge

After surviving a brain tumour, Tyler signed for Great Cycle Challenge to give back to the community. ✊

In 2017, Tyler had his first seizure during a campground holiday with his family. 😢

Doctors said he had an inoperable stage 4 glioblastoma multiforme, and that Tyler only had 2 months to live. 😞

Searching for a second opinion, he was transferred to a different hospital for an MRI.

A neurologist called a week later to say that the initial prognosis was incorrect, and instead, Tyler had a stage 3 astrocytoma tumour.

The new diagnosis meant Tyler could undergo surgery, and with conventional treatment, he would likely live 5 more years.

Since his surgery in 2019, Tyler has been in remission. 👏

Now, 7 years after diagnosis, Tyler enjoys every moment with his wife and two sons and also volunteers at his local aquarium and dolphin centre. 🐬

He also has a 6-year GCC legacy, and has altogether ridden 2,797 km and raised $3,115 to help kids with cancer - WOW! 🌟🚲

"I survived the most difficult obstacles I’ve ever encountered and decided to give back," he told us. 💪

Tyler, thank you for sharing your incredible story with our community, and for joining our movement to fight kids' cancer. 💙
