I am reaching out to ask for your support in helping me raise funds for The Pancreatic Cancer Foundation of Canada. I was invited to participate in a bike ride across Ontario and teaming up with my close friend Ross Wainwright who lives in Toronto. On May 30th I will be riding a century (100 miles) followed by a metric century (100kms) on the June 1st. I have completed a number of charity rides over the years but this ride is important to me because pancreatic cancer has majorly impacted my family. I lost my older brother, Michael Kukulka, to this terrible disease 13 years ago this May. We also lost my wife Sofia’s mother, Dona Lydia Bendeck de Nasser to pancreatic cancer in 2006. I will be doing the ride in their honor and to support the important work that the Pancreatic Cancer Foundation does to further research to combat this disease. This is also an opportunity to bond with other dedicated cyclists who are raising funds, enjoy the beauty of Ontario and push myself to find new limits with one of my favorite riding friends.  

Please pledge whatever amount you can to help me meet our fundraising goals and contribute to the fight against pancreatic cancer. Together we can help fund advanced research, raise awareness efforts and support patients who are fighting for their lives – with the ultimate goal of raising the rate of pancreatic cancer survival and finding a cure.
