In Memory of Wayne Francis
Last year I was riding for my good friend Wayne who we lost in December, only 10 months after his cancer diagnosis. He wrote some really kind words to me in his last days about how proud he was of me doing these endurance events. I will ride this year in his memory, and for everyone currently in the fight against cancer, with gratitude that my body is capable of it.
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 11th annual BMO Ride for Cancer to help fund life-saving 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 — for those we’ve lost, those currently facing cancer, and the 1 in 2 who will be diagnosed.
To help combat these alarming stats, our BMO Ride for Cancer community will equip our QEII experts with the diagnostic tools they need to deliver some of Canada’s most leading-edge cancer care available — ensuring our loved ones have the best possible chance of conquering cancer.
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!
