I'm riding to help change cancer care, right here at home

Nova Scotia has the highest cancer rates in all of Canada. I’m still young, but even I know cancer impacts way too many people we love. 

That’s why I’m riding in the 12th annual BMO Ride for Cancer youth ride to support patients and families at the QEII Health Sciences Centre…and I need your help to make a real impact! 

In 2026, money raised by BMO Ride for Cancer will help improve care for every step of the cancer journey. That means earlier diagnosis, more targeted treatment, better support between appointments and tools that can help detect cancer coming back — sooner. 

Pretty incredible, right? But I can’t do it without you!  

With every dollar you donate to my Ride, together we’ll help change and save the lives of cancer patients right here in Nova Scotia.  

Please donate to my Youth Ride today!
