ARE YOU READY TO SAVE LIVES? BECOME A VIRTUAL COMMUNITY CRUSADER TODAY!

Looking for a different type of challenge? Are you not able to participate in our 2024 in-person cycling event? No problem, we’ve got plenty of options!

By becoming a Virtual Community Crusader, you will join a movement of riders, donors, sponsors, and volunteers dedicated to advancing local cancer care in our region. Whether it’s a challenge of physical endurance or a not-so-sweaty pledge to raise funds for cancer care in one day or over several months throughout the year – as a Virtual Community Crusader, you will help transform local cancer care your own way. And there will be exciting virtual challenges, fundraising incentives, and rewards along the way!

Our why

Since 2015, our BMO Ride for Cancer community has raised over $10.2 million net – funding cancer-fighting equipment, technology and spaces at the QEII Health Sciences Centre. In our 10th anniversary year, our BMO Ride for Cancer community is rallying like never before to introduce liquid biopsy technology that will determine if a patient’s cancer is cured, if it has returned, and, if so, how best to treat it.

Faster diagnosis saves lives, which is why BMO Ride for Cancer is on a mission to fund rapid cancer detection and monitoring for patients who have already undergone treatment. With a simple blood test that can happen anywhere in the province, QEII experts will use this revolutionary technology to uncover whether patients are cancer-free after surgery and the earliest signs if their cancer has returned.

By registering as a Virtual Community Crusader, you join a community dedicated to moving the needle in cancer care for Nova Scotians. Your participation will pave the way for a future of hope for all of us. If you could save someone’s life, why wouldn’t you? For more information on our 2024 cause and impact click here.

You can challenge yourself in any way, from anywhere. Whether it’s a physical challenge like walking one of our beautiful trails, running in a local race, biking abroad while on vacation, or simply challenging yourself to raise funds through your network from the sofa while binge-watching your favorite series…the choice is yours. Remember, it’s not about how you’re doing it: it’s WHY you’re doing it!
