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.

Getting in shape

As I prepare for this year’s Ride for Cancer, I’ve been reflecting on how fortunate I am to have the opportunity—and the ability—to take part in such a meaningful event.

Training for a challenge like this takes time, effort, and commitment, but it also serves as a reminder not to take our health for granted. Being able to get on a bike, push through the kilometres, and support a cause that impacts so many families is something I’m truly grateful for.

I’m also incredibly thankful to be riding alongside such a great team. The encouragement, camaraderie, and shared commitment to making a difference make this experience even more rewarding.

Thank you to everyone who has supported our efforts. Every donation, message, and word of encouragement helps fuel the ride and the important work being done in the fight against cancer.

Looking forward to the road ahead and proud to be part of something bigger than myself.
