QUICK HITS
that biking brings you closer
to your daughter Paige.
Paige lived her life at SickKids [pediatric hos-
pital]. She would be 20 today if she was still
here. She sort of symbolizes hope. I think
in the early days after she died, [mountain
bike riding] was about being in community,
too. Doing lots of community rides and being
with family and friends and being on a bike—
it could be a Ride to Conquer Cancer type of
event where you have these amazing com-
munities that come together. And so, for me,
there was magic in that in the early days. I
have a group of family members who still
ride all over the place, you know, to this day.
But I think often just even finding an hour
up on [Mount] Fromme is healing.
What's your goal for the next
four and a half years on the job?
Frankly, I'd love to put myself out of busi-
ness as a foundation. That's never going to
happen. But what will continue is to elevate
our sights and think about what could be and
then help make it happen.
