Life Altering … Life Enriching

Welcome to my Personal Page! The Ride to Conquer Cancer benefiting The Princess Margaret, is a cycling journey from Toronto to Niagara Falls that I’m embarking on to fight cancer. It will be a challenge in a number of ways, but by next June - with my bike, my helmet, and your generosity - a real impact will be made!

Just shy of my 50th birthday I was diagnosed with a treatable, but not yet curable form of Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, one of several cancers of the lymphatic system.

Over the next three years I received several different chemotherapy treatments; however the disease proved to be more stubborn than expected, and I was referred to the Bone Marrow / Stem Cell Transplant team at Princess Margaret Hospital.

I am an optimistic person, but I seemed to be running out of time. When one of my sons was identified as a possible donor, although not a 'perfect match', I was encouraged by my family and the medical teams’ genuine interest in my well-being. I received a stem cell transplant from Patrick and that was, undoubtedly, the right decision for me.

I enjoyed four years of remission before relapsing last spring . . . however; I continue to draw confidence from the incredible support of my family and friends, and the outstanding care I receive from my Princess Margaret team.

Please contribute to this history-making event with a donation. I will ride for you, my friends and family and the PMH. All funds raised in The Ride to Conquer Cancer will support breakthrough research, exemplary teaching, and compassionate care at PMH. Believe me -- it is one of the top 5 cancer research centres in the world!

Thank you in advance for your support.

Sincerely,

Chris
