So, I am officially registered, and I am about to send out my first email soliciting donations. I am looking forward to pushing both my physical limits on the bike ride, as well as pushing myself to collect as many donations as possible.
For those of you reading this, and considering sponsoring me, please do! Though my cousin Trevor lived in Manitoba, the Alberta Cancer Foundation does important research nation- and world-wide. I am excited to have found a way to honour his memory by pushing my own limits.

What we're doing...
The Ride to Conquer Cancer is a 200 kilometre 2-day bike ride, benefiting the Alberta Cancer Foundation. Derek and I will be riding June 26-27, 2010.
Teri is completing this challenge in honour of her cousin Trevor Pascal, who passed away in October 2008.
Derek is completing the challenge in honour of Marilyn Kittlitz, the mother of his good friend Travis from high school, who passed away November 2009.
Funds raised in The Ride to Conquer Cancer will support breakthrough research, exemplary teaching, and compassionate care at the Alberta Cancer Foundation, a world leader in cancer research and treatment. A donation of one dollar for every kilometre would be great, but any contribution would be greatly appreciated toward our goal of $5,000.00.
Donations can be made through Teri's fundraising website:

or Derek's fundraising site:
http://www.conquercancer.ca/goto/derekbisbing
or by filling out a donation form, which can be printed from the website (or we can give you one in person, if you like). The money donated goes immediately to the Alberta Cancer Foundation, so it is helping cancer patients even before we do the bike ride!
