Please support me in the Tour de Cure!
I am thrilled to share that I will be participating in the 2024 Tour de Cure with Ledcor Team, a two-day cycling event taking place on August 24th and 25th. As this is my first time taking on this challenge, I am eager to dedicate my ride to supporting cancer research and raising funds for BC Cancer.
Cancer has deeply affected the lives of those around family and friends. Witnessing their journey, strength, and resilience in the face of this disease has inspired me to take action.
Did you know that cancer is the second leading cause of death globally? Every year, millions of individuals are diagnosed with cancer, and millions more lose their lives to this devastating disease. Despite advancements in treatment, there is still much work to be done to find a cure.
Here are some sobering statistics:
- "Globally, there was an estimated 20 million new cancer cases worldwide and 10 million deaths from cancer."
- "Cancer accounts for nearly 1 in 6 deaths globally, making it one of the leading causes of death worldwide."
- "It is estimated that 2 in 5 Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, and 1 in 4 will die from the disease."
The Tour de Cure is more than just a cycling event; it's an opportunity to come together and make a difference in the lives of those affected by cancer. Funds raised through the Tour de Cure will support life-saving research and enhancements to care at BC Cancer, bringing hope to cancer patients in British Columbia and making an impact around the world.
My goal is to raise a minimum of $2,500 to contribute towards this cause. Your support, no matter the amount, will make a meaningful impact in the fight against cancer. Together, we can bring hope to those battling this disease and support the ongoing efforts to find a cure.
Thank you for considering supporting me in this journey. Your generosity will not only help me reach my fundraising goal but will also make a difference in the lives of countless individuals affected by cancer.
Please consider supporting me by making a gift today. Your donation will help me achieve my fundraising goal and motivate me in this challenge!
Thank you so much for your support!
Felix
