About the Ride2Survive
The Ride2Survive is a non-profit society registered in British Columbia, Canada.
The Ride2Survive operates various events to raise money for cancer research thru the Canadian Cancer Society.
All our donations are directed 100% to research projects without any operating, advertising or any other expenses coming out of them. We also try to locate matching grants to double our donation impact to projects. While our targeted research projects are different each year, we have recently been focusing on the tough cancers.
You may have heard about the original Ride2Survive event which was a 400km ride from Kelowna BC to Delta BC in one day. We will try to put a series of articles on the website about the history at some point.
