Riding to Beat Cancer.
I ride for life. For all lives, but especially those who are impacted by cancer.
Since 2010 I have ridden mountain, road and gravel bikes raising money for cancer research and innovation. 26 rides totalling 300,000 kms (190,000 miles) in distance, 300,000 meters (190,000 feet) in elevation and most importantly $200,000 + in cancer research and innovation donations.
Thank you so much for all of the support and donations to helping me ridie to beat cancer during this 2023 Campaign.
Recap of Last Year: 2022 was an incredible year....we raised almost $100,000 for cancer research completing three different cancer rides. Two across Vancouver Island on gravel logging roads and a third and final epic 4000km journey on gravel roads from the Canadian Border to Mexico. 90% of it was on dirt with over 200,000 feet of climbing, which we completed in 21 days and closing out last years fundraising campaign at just under $100,000.00 raised. Thanks to everyone who followed, and cheered us on, and supported a great cause.
2023 Campaign: Yes I'm going to do it again. This time is going to be a little less logistically challenging but maybe not any less "physically" challenging.
1. In May I'm racing across Portugal on a Mountain Bike. From North to South, in 8 days, covery 900kms of Mountain trails and single track and climbing $15,471 meters (50,800 feet).
2. In June, I'm planning on riding a new route that's being promoted for tourism on Vancouver island called the Tree to Sea. Riding 1000kms of gravel around Vancouver Island.... of course...like all cancer rides...the idea is to make it hard...to mimic the battle that cancer warriors face...I plan to complete this route averaging 200kms of gravel/day or 5 days total.
"Cancer doesn't care about pandemics, it doesnt wear a mask it NEVER socially distances, but the need for lifesaving research and treatments continues unabated...this is how I choose to give back"!
