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 I am riding in the 12th BMO Ride for Cancer — hosted by the QEII Foundation — to help fund lifesaving cancer care for all Nova Scotians.
The list of loved ones affected by cancer keeps growing, and so must our commitment to conquering it. This is our time to lead the charge and continue our journey to transform local cancer care at the QEII Health Sciences Centre; for those we’ve lost, those currently facing cancer, and the 1 in 2 who will be diagnosed.
Funds raised by our 2026 BMO Ride for Cancer community will support the full spectrum of cancer care at the QEII — 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
Together, our BMO Ride for Cancer community is helping ensure that every patient who relies on Atlantic Canada’s largest and most specialized cancer treatment hospital has access to world-class care, right here at home.
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 of Nova Scotians.

50km, $2210 Raised, and Counting
Less than a month from now, I’ll be hopping on my bike to take on the 50km BMO Ride for Cancer.
The training is well underway, and with ride day getting closer, the distance is starting to feel a little more real. But what makes the 50km worth it is the reason behind the ride.
I’m really proud that our team has already raised $2210 for this important cause.
That number represents a lot of people coming together to support something that has touched far too many families and communities. I’m grateful to everyone who has contributed so far, and especially to those who have supported our team and helped us get to this point.
There are still a few weeks to go, so we’re hoping to keep that number climbing. Fundraising goes a long way, and if you’d like to support our team, every contribution helps. Even sharing our fundraising page with someone else can make a difference.
For now, I’ll keep putting in the kilometres and getting ready for the big day.
$2210 raised. 50km to ride. Let’s see how much further we can take it. 🚴
Thanks again to everyone who has supported us so far. It really means a lot.
