ABOUT US

The Event

Tour de Cure, presented by Wheaton Precious Metals, is a beyond epic fundraising event driven and defined by those who believe when we face challenger together, our potential impact is limitless.

The event was officially rebranded and named Tour de Cure in 2019, and has since become the  largest cycling fundraiser in B.C. powering cancer research at the BC Cancer. Every year, the Tour de Cure brings together over 2,000 riders and volunteers who raise funds and ride together.

To date, this premier event has garnered the participation of over 29,500 cyclists and over 4,500 volunteers since its inaugural ride in 2009, prior to officially becoming the Tour de Cure.

Tour de Cure participants have helped achieve the extraordinary.

Filled with creativity, connectivity, and passion, the Tour de Cure isn’t just about crossing a finish line. It’s an invitation for riders everywhere, of all backgrounds and skill levels, to add their individuality, strength and story to a community that has raised over $116 million for world-leading research and innovation at BC Cancer.

Together, what we’ve achieved is Beyond Epic. And we’re just warming up.

The Tour de Cure Impact

With over $116 million raised, Tour de Cure's funding has fuelled innovation in breast cancer research, clinical trials, BC Cancer supportive care initiatives, the Northern Precision Radiation Therapy Program, the Oral Cancer Screening program, Cultural Safety, and initiatives that have improved access to care everywhere.

These are just some of the over 20 programs supported by the Tour de Cure. Now we are mobilizing around our Beyond Belief campaign to raise $500 million to transform cancer care in B.C.

Tour de Cure impact highlights:

  • Over 100 leading-edge clinical trials supported annually
  • Provided critical funding to develop new technology for early lung cancer detection
  • Key in advancing precision therapies for multiple cancers

The impact is tangible. When you ride, you are riding for a future free from cancer.
