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 2025 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 $13 million net, funding cancer-fighting equipment, technology, and spaces at the QEII Health Sciences Centre. But the journey doesn’t end here, and our 2025 BMO Ride marks another step forward in our mission to move the needle to combat cancer in our region.

This year, we’re continuing to advance precision oncology — a groundbreaking diagnostic approach that helps clinicians identify and tailor treatments to each patient’s unique cancer. With your participation and support, we’re investing in cutting-edge tools to reshape how we diagnose, monitor, and treat this disease like never before.

For patients, this means more precise and targeted treatments that have fewer side effects and a greater chance of success — all while sparing them from unnecessary or ineffective treatments that their cancer may not respond to.

Your commitment to the BMO Ride for Cancer fuels these life-changing advancements. With every kilometre you ride and every dollar you raise or donate, you’re bringing us closer to a future where precision oncology changes and saves lives.

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 2025 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!
