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.
Please donate to my Ride today!

Thank You for Supporting Match Day
I want to extend a sincere thank you to everyone who contributed, shared, encouraged, or supported my BMO Ride for Cancer fundraising efforts today, on Match Day.
Match Day is a special opportunity because every donation is matched dollar-for-dollar by the J.W. Murphy Foundation, doubling the impact of each contribution. That means every gift, no matter the size, goes even further in supporting cancer care, research, treatment, and the families who are affected by this disease.
Cancer has touched so many of us in deeply personal ways. For me, this ride carries special meaning as I remember family members I have lost to cancer, while also recognizing the many people currently facing their own diagnosis, treatment, and recovery.
This year’s ride is also part of my own personal journey. After open heart surgery earlier this year, training for the BMO Ride for Cancer has become an important part of my recovery and rehabilitation. Every ride, every kilometre, and every donation has given me added motivation to keep moving forward.
To everyone who donated on Match Day, thank you. Your generosity has not only helped me move closer to my fundraising goal, but has also helped amplify the impact of this campaign through the generous matching support of the J.W. Murphy Foundation.
To those who shared my post, sent a note of encouragement, or took a moment to support the cause in any way, I am truly grateful.
Together, we are helping make a difference for patients, families, caregivers, and healthcare teams across our community.
Thank you again for your kindness, generosity, and support.
