Paula and Teresa's Tribute Team

In Honour of Paula and Teresa

Help transform local cancer care, right here in Nova Scotia!

This year we ride in tribute of two incredible women who are no longer with us. Though years separate their losses, the impact they had—and the love we carry for them—binds our Tribute Team together on this journey.

Every kilometer is for them, and for the countless others still journeying with cancer. We invite you to stand with us by making a donation—supporting vital cancer research, care, and hope for a future where fewer families have to say goodbye too soon. Together, we can turn remembrance into action.

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. This ride is a commitment to fight back against a disease that touches so many lives.

That’s why funds raised by our 2026 BMO Ride for Cancer community will support the full spectrum of cancer care at the QEII — strengthening every stage of a patient’s journey at the region’s largest and most specialized cancer treatment hospital. This means funding cancer-fighting technology and treatment options like:

 ·         Best-in-class imaging to detect cancer earlier with greater accuracy, reduce scan times and cut wait times 

·         Precision oncology tools to help tailor therapies to each patient’s unique genetics 

·         Surgical robotics and innovation to enable less invasive procedures and faster recoveries 

·         Digital tools that empower and support patients at home, removing location barriers between appointments 

 Thank you for supporting our Tribute to Paula and Teresa!
