Cancer Ride Background
Evraz has been a presenting sponsor the last couple of years
This year I was asked to represent the Calgary site on the Evraz Team for the Conquer
Cancer Ride. The Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer presented by Evraz is a two day
ride over 200 KM along the Canadian Rockies
In reflecting on this event personally there have been six family members and a good
friend of mine impacted by cancer. Cancer is a disease that impacts many of us
For the Calgary site, we created a team with six riders and four pit crew volunteers
During this EPIC cycling journey, we rode two days along the majestic Rockies
The mission is clear – a cancer free future
We hosted a team fundraiser on May 13

The Ride to Conquer Cancer is an excellent event. It was a good
time with colleagues and friends for a great cause. I am glad I had
an opportunity to be part of the team. Thank you to everyone who
participated on the team and donated to my fundraising effort.
Without your support the personal growth I experienced during the
season and funding to fight cancer would not have been possible.
