Ride to Conquer Cancer®

Benefiting BC Cancer Foundation

One of our Junior members, Safiya Mawani, recently passed away from cancer and her family is undertaking to cycle from Vancouver to Seattle over two days, June 15-16, 2013, in her memory.

We are riding for Safiya who was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma on September 21st, 2012. Her sudden passing has left us all with a void in our lives. No family should ever go through such a tragic loss, so in Safiya's memory we are riding to beat cancer and find a cure.

If in keeping with your lifestyle choices, you can donate via the
We're Riding for Safiya
page on the Ride to Conquer Cancer® web site.
