In Memory of Cara and all those affected by this horrible diease
I am again participating in the BMO Ride for Cancer, in memory of my friend Cara.
On June 7, 2023, I lost my friend, Cara, to cancer. Cara was a vibrant, loving, and courageous person who faced her battle with strength and grace. Her passing has left a profound void in my life and the lives of everyone who knew her.
Cara's journey with cancer was a testament to her resilience and determination. Despite the challenges, she remained hopeful and inspired those around her to live fully and cherish every moment. It is in her honor that I am taking on this ride, channeling my grief into something positive and impactful. The BMO Ride for Cancer was very important for Cara, making it equally important to me.
The BMO Ride for Cancer is not just an event for me; it's a tribute to Cara's memory and a way to support the fight against this relentless disease. By participating, I hope to raise awareness and funds that will contribute to cancer research and provide support for those affected by cancer.
I ride for Cara, and for everyone who has been affected by cancer. Together, we
can make a difference.
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.
