I'm on a mission to support those facing cancer
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.

Riding for a Cause: My Journey to the 12th & Final BMO Ride for Cancer
On October 3, 2026, I'll be taking on the 160 km road ride as part of the 12th and final BMO Ride for Cancer, proudly riding with the incredible Dusty Dads.
While this is only my second year participating, this event has inspired thousands of riders over the past 12 years, raising millions of dollars to support cancer research and patient care. Knowing that this will be the final edition makes this ride even more meaningful.
Why I'm Riding
Cancer has touched the lives of so many of us. Whether it's a family member, a friend, a coworker, or someone in our community, we all know someone whose life has been changed by this disease.
That's why I'm choosing to spend months training and then tackle 160 kilometres on the bike—not just for the challenge, but to help make a difference. Every pedal stroke represents hope for better treatments, more breakthroughs, and ultimately, a future without cancer.
Riding with the Dusty Dads
I'm proud to ride alongside the Dusty Dads, a group brought together by a shared commitment to supporting cancer research and giving back to our community. The encouragement, camaraderie, and dedication within this team make every training ride and every kilometre on event day worthwhile.
How You Can Help
While the ride is a personal challenge, fundraising is what truly makes an impact.
If you're able to support my ride, I'd be incredibly grateful. Every donation—large or small—helps fund life-changing cancer research and care for patients and their families.
