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, on October 18^th, I will be riding 100km in the 11th annual BMO Ride for Cancer to help fund life-saving care for all Nova Scotians.

But this only tells part of the story.  Imagine sitting next to a family member when they hear the heart-wrenching words "you have cancer".  Imagine the real-life scenario of holding the hand of a loved one while they suffer through yet another chemotherapy treatment.  Or even worse, imagine being by the side of the most important person in your world when cancer takes another life.  It happens far too often and it is time to make a change, to make a difference, and I am going to join the fight.

Funds raised by our 2025 BMO Ride for Cancer community will unlock more precise, targeted therapies that have fewer side effects and allow for earlier detection of cancer recurrence for patients being treated at the QEII Cancer Centre; Atlantic Canada’s largest and most specialized cancer treatment hospital.

With every dollar you donate to my Ride, you’re bringing us closer to a future where precision oncology WILL save and change the lives of Nova Scotians.

Please donate to my Ride today!
