Will you support me for my 11th and last Ride for Cancer?

For the 11th and final time, I will be riding in the Ride for Cancer in October.  This is the 12th Ride for Cancer and they have indicated that this is the last time it will be run.  Last year's event raised $2 million (net) and over the past 11 events, it has raised over $15 million to support cancer research and to treat and support patients living with cancer. 

Team Barb has been riding in various forms since 2016 and, because of your generosity, has raised well north of $125k toward the cause.  That first year I rode by myself in honour of friend and colleague Dr Barb Eisener.  Since then Team Barb has ridden in honour of countless friends, family and colleagues who are living with cancer or died because of cancer.  It is a long list including neighbours Gary, Derek, Laurie, Darlene and colleagues Aditya, Michael, John, Mada, and Ray.   I suspect we all have a list of people in whose honour we can support this cause.  

Will you help me make 2026 the highest total ever for Team Barb?

With profound gratitude for all your support over the past 11 years!

Thank you!

Colin


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 I am riding in the 12th BMO Ride for Cancer — hosted by the QEII Foundation — to help fund lifesaving cancer 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 at the QEII Health Sciences Centre; for those we’ve lost, those currently facing cancer, and the 1 in 2 who will be diagnosed.  

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 the journey: earlier diagnosis, more targeted treatment, effective support between appointments, and monitoring that can detect cancer recurrence sooner. 

This means advancing cancer-fighting technology and treatment options including: 

  • 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 

Together, our BMO Ride for Cancer community is helping ensure that every patient who relies on Atlantic Canada’s largest and most specialized cancer treatment hospital has access to world-class care, right here at home.  

With every dollar you donate to my Ride, you’re helping every step of the cancer journey from diagnosis to recovery and survivorship – ultimately saving and changing lives of Nova Scotians.  

Please donate to my Ride today!
