The Ride to Conquer Cancer
The Ride to Conquer Cancer is an annual charity fundraiser held in various locations across Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. It is organized as a non-competitive cycling event that sees thousands of riders travel over over two days. It was first held in the Toronto area in 2008 and raised $14 million for the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. Following the success of the first ride, the event spread to Montreal, Calgary and Vancouver beginning in 2009, and to Brisbane in 2011. In the four Canadian events in 2013, 11,000 riders raised $43.9 million. In 2014, 2 events within the United States were announced, including a ride through Washington, D.C. and Maryland, and a ride originating in Philadelphia.
==Organization==
The Ride to Conquer Cancer was created in 2008 as a "mega-event" fundraiser in support of the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre in Toronto. Differing from other fundraisers, the event focused on having a relatively small number of participants raise considerably more money in support of cancer research. Each participant is required to raise a minimum of $2,500 in order to ride. The event was a success, raising $14 million for the hospital and spawning three more rides in other locations across the country for 2009.〔 It has quickly grown to become the largest cycling fundraiser in Canadian history, raising $199.1 million between 2008 and 2013.
