How you can help
In 2009, 3530 cyclists raised $14.5 million in the Ride to Conquer Cancer. My final tally... $8310! Funds raised support cancer teaching, research and care at the Campbell Family Institute of the Princess Margaret, one of the top 5 cancer research centres in the world.
I want to thank everyone who made this happen. You are my heroes.
I will be riding in the 2010 RTCC. Fundraising will take a different path this year, but if you wish to make an easy online donation, please click here!

Poetry corner
Fishermen
by a rocky shore,
winds blowing wildly,
in a boat unmoored -
such is our condition
