I'm on a mission to support those facing cancer

2 in 5 people in Canada will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, and 1 in 3 patients will not survive. Just as sadly, the list of loved ones affected by it keeps growing. That’s why I am riding in the 12th BMO Ride for Cancer, hosted by the QEII Foundation being held in Halifax on Sat Oct 3, a memorable, impactful day, where I'll join hundreds of other riders cycling 100 km on the Rail to Trail southwest from Halifax. Together we will help fund lifesaving cancer care in memory of those we’ve lost, for those currently facing cancer, and for the 2 in 5 who will be diagnosed.  

Funds raised by the 2026 BMO Ride for Cancer community will support the full spectrum of cancer care, 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 

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 not only for Nova Scotians, but also across Canada.  

Please donate to my Ride today!
