I'm Riding For
Soren
In Loving Memory of Soren I ride for my son, Soren—a bright, curious, and joyful soul whose smile lit up every room. Though his time with us was heartbreakingly short, his spirit continues to guide me every day. Soren faced leukemia with unimaginable courage, and even in the darkest moments, he radiated love and light. His bravery, laughter, and gentle heart are forever etched in mine. This ride is for him. For the dreams he never got to chase. For the stories he never got to tell. For the future he deserved. Every kilometre I pedal is a promise: To fight for children like Soren. To support families walking the hardest path. To help build a world where no child has to face cancer. Soren, this is for you. Your light lives on in every ride, every donation, and every act of kindness. You are missed beyond words, loved beyond measure, and remembered always.
My Story
This October, I’ll be riding in the Great Cycle Challenge for the 7th year to help fight kids’ cancer, and I’m asking for your support once again.
For most people, this challenge is about cycling. For me, it’s about remembering my son, Soren.
Soren was our beautiful little boy. He was full of joy, curiosity, laughter, and a smile that could light up even the darkest day. In 2019, at just two years old, he was diagnosed with leukemia. Overnight, our lives changed forever.
Like every parent, we dreamed of watching him grow up, start school, make friends, chase his dreams, and build a future. Instead, we found ourselves in a battle no family should ever have to face. Despite his incredible courage and the unwavering efforts of those caring for him, we lost our precious boy far too soon.
There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about Soren. I miss his smile, his laughter, his hugs, and all the moments we never got to share. While the pain of losing him never fades, this challenge gives me a way to honour his memory and turn heartbreak into hope.
Every kilometre I ride is for Soren. It’s for the children still fighting cancer, for the families sitting beside hospital beds, and for the parents praying for more time with the ones they love most.
No child should have to endure cancer. No family should have to experience the loss of a child.
That’s why I ride. And that’s why I’m asking for your help.
Your donation, no matter the size, will help fund vital research to develop better treatments and ultimately find a cure. Together, we can give more children the chance to grow up, create memories, and live the lives they deserve.
Thank you for supporting my ride, for remembering Soren, and for helping bring hope to families facing the unimaginable.
This October, I ride for my son. I ride for every child battling cancer. I ride because every child deserves the chance to grow up.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Hamed
