Imagine a child you love so much having a condition that affects their every move – something that weighs on their minds while their friends play games, make crafts, and chatter together. Wouldn’t you do everything in your power to help that child experience some of that carefree attitude every child should have?
Halifax Inside Ride 2010
This is why the Dalhousie Commerce Society is partnering with the IWK Health Centre to host the Inside Ride this September in support of Camp Goodtime and the pediatric oncology unit at the IWK.
On September 11, Coast to Coast Against Cancer will show up in Halifax with a truck full of stationary bicycles, a DJ, awards, and tonnes of spirit. Waiting for them will be teams from across the Dalhousie campus and the Halifax community as students, alumni, and local businesses come together to raise money for this great cause in an afternoon filled with biking, cheering, music, and touching stories.
The Inside Ride is not a large time commitment – some dedication to fundraising, and one afternoon of fun – and the benefits speak for themselves. We are proud to announce that 100% of funds raised stay right here in Nova Scotia. Funds will be split between two exceptional causes: the IWK’s pediatric oncology department, and Camp Goodtime which gives children with cancer the opportunity to spend a week at camp where they can swim, canoe, and meet new friends – great experiences that are often taken for granted.
There is still time to sign up for the 2011 Inside Ride. Find a group of six and head to www.novascotia.theinsideride.com to sign up and begin your fundraising today, and feel free to contact me with any questions or comments at V.Baker@dal.ca!
Coast to Coast Against Cancer Foundation presents the Inside Ride, Canada’s first indoor cycling challenge and fundraising event dedicated to raising monies in support of families and children with cancer. Support will be provided where the needs are greatest, including funding of oncology camps, community support programmes, research scholarships and other areas which contribute to inspiring hope and improving prognoses for children and their families impacted by cancer.
