S6E30: NB Ride Against Cancer growing with foundation partnership, downtown Ride Day

May 06, 2024

Less than a decade ago, a group of nine cyclists set out with a goal - to bike 500 kilometres around New Brunswick and raise awareness and fund for cancer patients. In 2011, another group of cyclists began the Tour of Hope, with a similar goal. Today, these events have merged under the banner of the NB Ride Against Cancer, a joint fundraiser by the CHU Dumont Foundation and The Friends of the Moncton Hospital.


Cancer impacts the lives of every Canadian, directly or indirectly - with nearly two in five people expected to develop cancer during their lifetime. Money raised through the NB Ride Against Cancer will go towards the creation of a Cancer Support Program that will help people living with cancer, their caregivers, and their families.


Foundation leaders Gilles Allain and Katherine Robertson join Jenna & Tosh to talk about the 2024 ride (including the NEW Riverfront trail portion scheduled for June 15), the longterm goals of the event, and their vision for collaboration.


The Jenna & Tosh Show is a co-production of Pickle Planet Moncton and The Podcast Hub, and is recorded & aired by Rogers TV New Brunswick. Follow us for a new episodes each Monday!
