Hello Everyone! 

I am one of the riders this year and am so grateful for this opportunity. I moved to Victoria recently to be part of the Saanich Police Department after working as an RCMP officer in Fort McMurray for several years. Part of the reason for my big move was to be closer to my family and friends, who are the most important thing in my life.  

I have been a police officer for a few years now and truly love what I do. Before this career, I worked as a Swim Instructor teaching lessons to kids. I have always loved children, seeing smiles on their faces while they accomplished a big float, pretending to be monkeys jumping off the deck or doing canon bombs off diving boards! Children have the biggest hearts. I also graduated from the Radiation Therapy program and completed practicums in several BC Cancer Agencies. I was able to get to know and provide treatment to patients who impacted my life and I will always remember. I have also had friends who have lost loves ones to cancer and to see the way it affected their lives was heartbreaking. If we can end cancer and save lives, that is the goal. 

As part of the Tour de Rock team, we have the opportunity to fundraise for children, sending them to Camp Goodtimes where they get the freedom to just be kids while also funding pediatric cancer research.

I am so excited for this journey and to meet families and children of all walks. Every donation would mean so much to me as I train for the big tour where we will bike 1200km starting in Port Alice and ending in Victoria from September 23rd to October 6th! 

Thank you so much for your support.

Love, 

Nadia
