2024 BMO Cancer Ride
Spring has arrived, and for the second time I have signed up for the BMO Cancer Ride, which will take place in September. This year my Daughter, Annette, will again join me along with my grandson, William. It is our goal once again to complete 50 KM which will be Halifax to Tantallon and returning to Halifax.
This year the funds raised by the participants will go towards introducing a liquid BiopsyTechnology at the QEII Health Sciences Centre. With a simple blood test that can happen anywhere in the Province, QEII experts will use this revolutionary Technology to uncover whether patients are cancer free after surgery, if there cancer has returned and if so, how best to treat it.
Last year when I announced my decision to enter the BMO Ride, the first persons to sponsor me was my good friend, John Pickford, and his wife, Heather Armstrong. Shortly after completing my ride, John called me and advised that he had just been diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer stage four. This is one of the really bad cancers and the Doctors prognosis was four to six months. Due to first rate medical treatment along with John’s fighting spirit, the six months have come and gone and John is fighting on.
In view of this, it is my intention to dedicate my ride to John.
