We are riding in honor of 16 year old Lydia Millett who passed away from brain cancer in November of 2023.
Nova Scotia has the highest cancer rates in Canada. Currently, 1 in 2 are diagnosed in their lifetime and 1 in 3 patients will not survive. That’s why our team is saddling up to help fund life-saving care for all Nova Scotians.
The list of loved ones affected by cancer keeps growing, and so must our commitment to conquering it. This is our time to lead the charge and continue our journey to transform local cancer care — for those we’ve lost, those currently facing cancer, and the 1 in 2 who will be diagnosed.
To help combat these alarming stats, our BMO Ride for Cancer community will equip our QEII experts with the diagnostic tools they need to deliver some of Canada’s most leading-edge cancer care available — ensuring patients have the best possible chance of conquering cancer.
Funds raised by our 2025 BMO Ride for Cancer community will unlock more precise, targeted therapies that have fewer side effects and allow for earlier detection of cancer recurrence for patients being treated at the QEII.
With every dollar you donate, you’re bringing us closer to a future where precision oncology WILL save and change the lives of Nova Scotians.
To learn more about precision oncology and the impact your generous donation will have, visit https://YourRideforCancer.ca/Impact.
Thank you to our supporters

Fundraised from the sale of Ballerina pins. The pins were worn on the dresses, suits, and grad gowns of Lydia’s classmates, friends, and family. Ensuring a little bit of her was present at Prom and/or Graduation this year.
