Hello Friends,


As a new cyclist, this year I have decided to bite the bullet, and to sign up for the Ride to Conquer Cancer in June 2023.


This is a known bicycle ride but it is new to me.


However, I feel I am much more challenged with raising the necessary minimum CAD$2500 rather than cycling for over 200 km.


Please support my ride. Your donation will support a breakthrough research, exemplary teaching, and compassionate care at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre that is organizing the ride for years. It will move us closer to actually conquering cancer, so that our loved ones are not taken by this killer.


Here is the link to my personal fundraising page,  http://supportthepmcf.ca/ui/Ride23/p/LiliaKaz

My rider's number is 8236699

Thank you all!

I'm thinking to bite the bullet and start raising money for missile defense so that no rocket kills a single child.

Hi Lily,

Out of all the bicycle races and marathons done over the decades to cure cancer, your bicycle ride could be the one to finally do it so I donated. Good luck curing the cancer I'll probably get someday!
Over 220 generals and admirals say we are in a fight for our survival like no other time since 1776. If you want to stop the war in Ukraine, fix elections, stop medical tyranny and forced vaccinations, lower inflation and make America and the world a better place, get Trump back into power. The Democrats and Republicans have shown they can't do the job. They are good at robbing us and getting people killed in non stop wars.

So I contributed yesterday (along with your name and participant ID) but my donation still hasn't displayed on your goal graph. I contacted an administrator and here's the response I received:

"Hi Douglas,
 
Thank you very much for getting back to me with this information!
 
I completely understand your worry, you made no mistakes!
 
All USD donations made, take up to 10 business days to be processed as they come from an external donation portal.
 
This means it is a manual process for our business operations team to allocate the funds directly to the Rider.
 
I have flagged this email and will check Lilia’s page in 10 business days to make sure your generous donation is there!
 
If not, I will further investigate.
 
Thank you and I hope you have a wonderful day. Candace"

So keep an eye peeled BelleZeBoob, you should be getting some cash in there soon! Happy to contribute and I hope you do well in your biking event, though I must say that their donation platform leaves much to be desired.

Thank you Lord of the Dance for informing me about that. And even more cordial thanks for your donation!  :loving:

The Ride Guides are there to help riders and donors. They always return calls, happy to go an extra mile to create a personal QR code if requested, and to supply some fundraising aids. Hope I will soon be able to throw some local cycling fundraiser!

Billy and Bill - did you guys donate in Canadian dollars? Your donations have shown up on BelleZeBoob's goal graph, but when I contributed to her fundraiser I got a bunch of BS about taking up to ten days to process. Is this because I donated in US dollars and you guys donated in Canadian dollars, or what's the deal here?

Conquering cancer needs so much money, scientists and doctors.

At last but not the least, you need to tolerate big physical pain.

Yes, I donated in Canadian looneys. I got a couple twelve days
of Christmas questions (to make sure I wasn't a robot) about
10 lords a leaping.

As Lord of the Dance, did you foul that question up?

Did you get distracted by the 8 milk maids?

Udachi!

Thanks a ton Bill!  :loving: 

I could use some good chunk of Udachi!

This morning I woke up to the sound of Bill's kopecks landing on my account, and also saw an incentive from the Ride itself, called Refer Raise Ride. If an existing Rider refers a new one, then after the new one raises at least $150, both will receive an extra $50 from the Ride.

Not only you guys have helped me but also another good cyclist Tom from Niagara Falls who has referred me!  :party0011:

A heartfelt thanks to you my dears!   :loving:

Lord of the Dance, no worries, I am sure that your donation will be shown on my honor roll soon. Since it is in USD, it will be more in CAD due to the exchange rate.

Okay, so funny story: originally I was only gonna do $500 but when I hit 'donate' and it didn't show up I figured I had mis-typed your rider number so I doubled back and just contributed the goal amount but it still didn't show up.  :laugh:

Enjoy the bike ride. Cancer's a b!tch.

Hello my dears   tiphat

The cycling season is about to start in Toronto. It is time for me to post an update to this forum. It is your generosity that has brought me to this epic bicycle ride in Canada!

Your donations have not only put me to the ride. More than that, my fundraising goal was surpassed! Now I am qualified to ride for a longer endurance route that is 160 km in day one, and 100 km in day two  :party0031: !

The two-days ride will be fully supported by the benefiting charity, the Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation. This will be the 16th year of this ride, one of the largest and most popular bicycle rides in Canada.

Since this is my first time participating in this ride, I have joined one of the largest teams that is Steve's Cycle Paths that now has about 180 registered riders. I was told that they take fundraising seriously, and do not let anyone behind underfunded. Because of you, I really don't need the team's help  :loving:

Here at the team's reunion, the benefiting charity is honoring the team for their fundraising efforts.

Good luck, Lilia.

The maximum distance I have ridden on my bike in 1 day was 105 km, 3 days in a row (315 total).  I was of course in good shape back then but not trained for that long bike-rides.

160 is quite a feat to do in 1 day.
