2024 Terry Fox Ride of Hope
Calling all cyclists! The Ride of Hope is a great opportunity to pedal for progress in cancer research!
Inspired by his brother Terry, Darrell Fox and a few friends organized the first Terry Fox Ride of Hope in 2015 to commemorate the 35th anniversary of the Marathon of Hope. The one-day 350 km ride culminated at the base of Mount Terry Fox in British Columbia. Today the Ride of Hope is a collection of diverse rides that offer recreational and challenging distances and terrain. All rides include camaraderie, scenic vistas, and wonderful experiences for the rider!
Terry loved a challenge. He was competitive, compassionate, and dedicated to raising money for cancer research. He took himself to the limit, setting an example of what is possible if you try. The Ride of Hope offers a unique fundraising and cycling experience for serious cyclists, cycling enthusiasts, and recreational riders. If you love to ride, and want to support your community, the Ride of Hope is for you.
Campaign Description & Fundraising Goal
The Ride of Hope is a community cycling event supporting The Terry Fox Foundation. Our goal is to raise $5,000 to contribute to cancer research and continue Terry Fox's legacy of hope and resilience. Your participation and donations will help make a significant impact in the fight against cancer.
Special Guest
We are honored to announce that Darrell Fox, Terry Fox's brother, will be attending the inaugural Manitoba Terry Fox Ride of Hope.
