I’m facing the fight against cancer!

Nova Scotia has the highest cancer rates in all of Canada. 1 in 3 patients will not survive. To help combat these alarming stats, our BMO Ride for Cancer community is rallying like never before to introduce liquid biopsy technology that will help determine if a patient’s cancer is cured, if it has returned, and, if so, how best to treat it.

On Saturday, September 28, 2024, I’m riding alongside a community with one common goal: transforming local cancer care at the QEII Health Sciences Centre.  

Faster diagnosis saves lives, which is why BMO Ride for Cancer is on a mission to bring rapid cancer detection and monitoring to patients who have already undergone treatment. 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 and the earliest signs if their cancer has returned.

This technology will be a game-changer. Life-changing benefits include:

  • improving survival rates and provide potential cures with earlier detection and personalized treatment options;
  • unlocking access to more clinical trials;
  • sparing patients from unnecessary treatments and harmful side effects;
  • keeping care closer to home and ensuring equitable access, as patients can undergo a simple blood test in any community in Nova Scotia;
  • reducing the number of visits required to the QEII, which ultimately impacts wait times;
  • providing critical answers about a patient’s cancer sooner, helping to relieve anxiety and worry; and much more.

By supporting my ride today, you are joining a community dedicated to moving the needle in cancer care for Nova Scotians. Your support will pave the way for a future of hope for all of us.

Gearing Up for the Ride for Cancer: Training Triumphs

As I dive deeper into my training for the Ride for Cancer 100km Road Ride, I'm thrilled to share that things are going incredibly well. What once felt like a daunting challenge is now becoming an exhilarating journey. 

When I first committed to this ride, the thought of cycling 100 kilometers seemed overwhelming. However, as the weeks have progressed, I've found my rhythm and am getting into the swing of things. The steady climbs and even the muscle aches have all become part of a routine that I eagerly anticipate.

One of the most rewarding aspects of this journey has been witnessing my own progress. Each ride, I feel stronger and more capable. The hills that used to leave me breathless are now conquered with a newfound determination. The distances that once seemed insurmountable are now milestones I celebrate with a sense of accomplishment.

Training for the Ride for Cancer has not only strengthened my physical endurance but also my mental resilience. The discipline required, the moments of pushing through fatigue, and the joy of small victories have all been invaluable lessons.

As the event date approaches, I'm filled with a mixture of excitement and gratitude. Excitement for the ride itself, and gratitude for the journey that has brought me here. I look forward to continuing this training, pushing my limits, and ultimately, riding for a cause that matters.

Stay tuned for more updates as I continue to gear up for the Ride for Cancer. Thank you for your support and encouragement – it makes all the difference!
