This past weekend, the Medcan team joined more than 4,800 riders in the 19th Ride to Conquer Cancer, helping raise funds for life-saving research at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre – one of the world’s leading cancer research and treatment facilities.
Our team of 27 riders raised $82,921.44 for cancer research.
“We’re incredibly proud of this year’s team. Last year, 12 riders raised just over $30,000. This year, we grew to 27 riders, and we’re committed to building on that momentum. Our goal for next year is to reach $100,000,” said Sean Trotman, Medcan’s Fitness Team Lead who helped plan the ride alongside Medcan’s Chief Information Officer, Neil Mahon.
“The route this year was also exceptionally challenging given the hills, heat and headwinds,” said Trotman.
While each rider was driven by their own why for participating, together we’re contributing to real momentum toward a future where cancer no longer defines the health of Canadians.
When asked about the day, Medcan’s Head of Clinical Innovation, Allison Hazell, shared: “It was a challenging ride, but whenever it felt tough, I thought about the strength of those who have faced cancer – something far more difficult than a day on a bike.”
It was a privilege to stand alongside this community in support of better outcomes through innovation, early detection, and research.
