Vankleek Hill Myeloma Canada Ride
Vowing to honour the legacy of her late husband, Denyse along with her two sons, are gearing up to cycle in the Vankleek Hill Myeloma Canada Ride: Bike to Beat Myeloma. The Ride takes place June 11, 2023, at Beau’s Brewery, at 10 a.m., and helps to raise myeloma awareness and critical funds for a cure. Denyse is hopeful that a cure will be found so that others don’t experience the same suffering her husband and family endured.
The Myeloma Canada Ride will take place in seven Canadian locations this spring: Halifax Nova Scotia, Niagara Region Ontario, Red Deer County Alberta, Sudbury Ontario, St. John’s Newfoundland, Richmond British Columbia, and Vankleek Hill Ontario. A virtual option is also available for those who are unable to participate in one of the in-person events, or who wish to create their own cycling challenge. The collective national fundraising goal of the ride has been set at $300,000.
The Vankleek Hill Myeloma Canada Ride promises to be a fun and fulfilling event for cyclists of varying levels, with a shorter, more leisurely 30 to 40 kilometre route, and a more challenging route of more than 70 kilometres. To register or donate, visit: www.myelomaride.ca.
