I am happy to support the Canadian Cancer Society and fundraise by participating in a 20 km Silver Star Mountain Summit Run. Starting at BX Elementary School, in Vernon B.C. I'll be running up Silver Star Mountain Road to The Pinnacles Suites and Townhomes, then trail running the last 1.5 km to the top of Silver Star Mountain on July 6, my 60th Birthday.
My mom passed away from lung cancer fifteen years ago. And like many others, we've had other family members and friends survive having cancer and those who have left us because of it. I'll be running in memory of my dear, loving mother.
When: July 6 2020
Where: Vernon to Silver Star Summit
Covid 19 has cancelled a lot of cycling events including the Ride2Survive this year. The R2S is the largest independent Cancer fundraising event.
The Covid 219 hasn't stopped the research to beat Cancer so donations must go on.
I will do my part of cycling the length of Vancouver Island from Port Hardy to Victoria (500km) in 2 days to raise well needed money for Cancer Research, 100 % of every dollar you donate goes directly to Cancer Research here in BC there is no admin or overhead costs.
Your support will be greatly appreciated, Cancer is still alive and by supporting me with a gracious donation you will help to safe lives.
COVID 19 has meant the Cancellation of large group gatherings for the foreseeable future. As Cyclist we've been inconvenienced but for registered charities the damage is catastrophic. Did you know that Ride2Survive is the largest independent cancer fundraising event in the country? This year that means millions of dollars of desperately needed funding will not get raised unless we do something.
As avid cyclists, and concerned citizens, we are getting together "vitually" help out. Similar to the historic Ride2Suvive which was a one day 400km road ride from Kelowna to Delta we are going to complete a one day 200km Dirt only ride. The 2020 R2SDirty200. Trust me when I say that 200kms on dirt by yourself is going to be every bit as demanding as 400km of pavement riden as a supported group. Every rider who participate will be making a personal sacrifice worthy of your support!
Something else you may not know is that the Ride2Survive and R2S Dirty200 are 100% efficient for you the donar. What that means is that 100% of every dollar you donate goes directly to Cancer research here in British Columbia. Nothing is taken off your donation for admin or overhead.
EVENT DETAILS:
Thank you in advance for your generous support. Regardless of the rider you are supporting we are all in this together.
Please support my 400 km, two day solo ride to fight cancer.
When: June 19-20 2020
Where: Delta/Surrey/Richmond BC area
Wherein (as Evil Knievel said) I will attempt to summit not 1, not 2, but 3 gigantic rock formations known locally as the North Shore mountains using dual modalities (that’s hipster for 2 different bikes) switching from road to mountain and road again for Seymour, Grouse, and Cypress respectively all while reciting rhythmic utterances of great cultural significance.
Aware as I am that many have suffered economic loss this year it may seem like poor timing to ask you to support cancer research. I respect that and would like to let you know how much your past support means. If; however, you are in a position to help, please click on the link below to make a contribution:
When: Sept 12 2020 (weather permitting)
Where: North Shore Mountains
Help me help those on a cancer journey as I ride with my two sidekicks (Husband Ryan and friend Steve) to support the Canadian Cancer Society and Cancer Research!
Ride2Survive was canceled this year due to COVID-19 but COVID did not make cancer go away, it has lead to further issues for those facing cancer right now who still need my help. I'm stepping up and bringing my two riding partners with me.
July 17th - 19th we wil be riding in a socialy distant way around the lower mainland to help raise funds and awarenss for cancer reserach through Ride2Survive. Any and all support is welcome for those who can. Even just your good vibes are appreciated.
We ride because all 3 of us have lost people we love to cancer. We are also all parents and we want to help shape a future where no one fears cancer.
100% of all dollars raised through Ride2Survive go directly to the Canadian Cancer society to fund life saving research and support programs.
Sonya and Steve Tom are heading out every day in August to accumulate 300km on foot!!
When: August 2020
Where: Lower Mainland
Here's Sonya's story:
I’ve been involved with R2S and other cancer fundraising activities for a number of years and would like to continue to support the Canadian Cancer Society in what ever small way I can!
I’ve set my goal at $3,000.00 – Myself and long time friend, Steve Tom, will be walking/running/foot powering through the month of August in hopes of walking a combined 600KM (300KM each)!
So that's $10 a kilometer, who doesn't have 10 bucks to donate !! :)
But any amount is greatly appreciated!!
Donations to The Ride 2 Survive go directly to the cause, I’ve covered my own costs of “The Ride” so everything raised is a designated donation to research for the Canadian Cancer Society - kept right here in British Columbia!!
Additionally, The Canadian Cancer Society does not take any administrative costs out of your donation for the Ride2Survive, and R2S has made the decision that all money donated goes to the cause! It is money well spent!
Need I say more? Thanks in advance for your support!!! See you on the road or trail or mountain top !
Cheers to you and yours, stay healthy my friends!
Sonya
Watch for updates here and on facebook thru June 26. Here is her route through Delta:
She will be doing loops that go by her home on Sunwood Drive. Watch for updates where she is and get out and cheer her on!!!
Carol is ready... look at her supplies!!
And, here is what you will see on the road... ok, without the interior stuff, but, like, outside stuff... with the sign!
(we're not sure if she's excited!?)
Team Crazy Hikers and friends are walking 100km in one day to support the Canadian Cancer Society.
We are known as the Crazy Hikers and true to the name we are doing a crazy event in support of Ride2Survive who started that crazy event 16 years ago!
The event will be held on Saturday June 27 and will begin at midnight and hoping to finish at 7:00pm. It will be a long and hard day but no where close to emotional and physical pain a cancer patient goes through every day.
In last year 16 years R2S has raised well over 9 million by cycling from Kelowna to Delta however this year due to Covid-19 the ride has been cancelled. Of course as we all know Cancer did not take a break during this Pandemic and continues to effects our friends and families.
