I'm riding to honour my Grampie, Capt. Gary Harris, HRFE
On May 6th, 2026, our family lost our hero, my Grampie, Gary, to leukemia.
Gary was a proud Halifax firefighter who dedicated his life to protecting others, ultimately losing his battle to an occupational cancer. He had a deep passion for fighting this disease, proudly cycling in the Halifax BMO Ride for Cancer in 2018 and 2019. Gary had the honour of being the event's inspirational speaker in 2018, and introduced his two time bone marrow donor to the other participants.
On October 3, 2026, family members and friends, and I are getting back on our bikes to honour Grampie's incredible legacy. Because this is officially the Grand Finale year for the Ride for Cancer, we want to show up bigger than ever to support life-changing local cancer care. Please consider donating to our team to help us finish what Gary started and smash our fundraising go
