Ride to CONQUER cancer
Posted by Josh Tanzola on Friday, November 20, 2009

The ride to conquer cancer is a great charity event for an even greater cause. Find out how Blitz Fitness kettlebell classes are helping our friend Gareth Donohoe. Gareth and his wife Kim come to every kettlebell class and are great people. Let's help Gareth reach his goal in the combined effort to beat cancer.
The Ride to Conquer Cancer is a two day cycling challenge designed to raise money for cancer research in BC. The route is to be announced in the next few weeks but last years ride went from Vancouver BC to Seattle - a two-day cycle ride of 260km!!!!
I have decided to do this because cancer has taken several people in my life over the past 12 years and most recently in the last few weeks. 12 years ago my dad, Jim Donohoe, passed away from Bladder Cancer. 3 Years a very close family friend, Ruth Baker, passed away after a battle with Breast cancer. This year my Godfather, best friend and mentor John Taylor passed away from a perforated ulcer whilst undergoing treatment for cancer of the esophagus. And just in the last couple of weeks Pamela Baker - sister to Ruth, passed away, again of Cancer. These are just some of the people close to me that have passed away recently, not to forget Uncle Joe, Uncle Syl and Andrew amongst others
The loss of these amazing people has inspired me to get involved and try to raise some funds for the fight against cancer. Your generous donation will go jointly to the BC Cancer Foundation who are doing amazing work in the field of research and also directly to the research into Bladder Cancer.
I am aware of the fact that people may not be in the position they used to be to help and donate but anything - absolutely anything will be greatly appreciated....please click the donate now button above and make a difference!!!!
