  • The Ride to Conquer Cancer was created in 2008 as a "mega-event" annual fundraiser in support of cancer research at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre in Ontario, Canada. Funds raised from the Ride benefit people from across Canada and around the world. The Ride is non-competitive cycling adventure that sees thousands of riders travel more than 200 kilometres over two days. During the inaugural year in 2008, $14 million was raised for Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. Following the success of the first Ride, the event was licensed out to cancer charities in Montreal, Calgary and Vancouver. Importantly, 100% of the License Fees went back into a National collaborative clinical trials initiative. The original event agency supporting the Canadian edition of the Ride to Conquer Cancer took the program to Australia in 2011 where the event lasted four years. The previous Canadian charity partners decided to launch their own local bike ride fundraising initiatives in 2021 and are no longer associated with the Ride to Conquer Cancer. Today, The Ride to Conquer Cancer is an aspirational epic ride fundraiser benefitting Princess Margaret with participants coming from all 10 provinces, two Territories, 17 states and 7 countries worldwide. Over the 14-year history of The Ride, over $220 million has been raised in Ontario and over $410 Million across Canada. It was the number one Peer-to-Peer fundraising brand in Canada from 2014 to 2019. Differing from other fundraisers, the event focuses on having a relatively small number of participants who raise considerably more money in support of cancer research. Historically, each participant was required to raise a minimum of $2,500 in order to ride. In 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event was cancelled in Montreal and postponed in Vancouver. In Ontario and Alberta, the Ride pivoted to a virtual experience where the fundraising minimum and registration fee were removed, and riders chose their own route and distance. (en)
