The Ride to Conquer Cancer – August 25-26, 2019
For the last decade, The Ride to Conquer Cancer has been a rallying cry for those who know that cancer is no match against our conviction to conquer it. This rallying cry—Be The Ride—encompasses all that it means to take on this cycling journey and fundraising crusade. The courage, boldness, pride, determination and generosity of our Ridership have helped to raise millions in support of BC Cancer Foundation.
Our partner, Rory Morgan, accepted the challenge to ride the 200 kilometer journey to support others in their battle with cancer. On August 25 and 26, Rory raised over $5,000 and rode at total of 225 kms to support cancer research in BC.
