The 2010 Ride to Conquer Cancer,benefiting the BC Cancer Foundation, is quickly approaching. Starting in Vancouver and ending in Seattle, this two day ride raises funds to support scientists, researchers and other lab geeks who are constantly in search of a way to beat this disease.

My half marathoning super woman of a mother participated in the 272km ride last year, and raised over $5 000. This year she's participating as a volunteer, waking up at the crack of dawn and slaving away until dusk to support the riders. Why would anyone do such a thing you ask? Well according to her, "We've been lucky enough to avoid cancer in our family up to now, and I want to do my part in keeping it that way." Go mama, go!

The BC Cancer Foundation was established in 1935 with the idea of creating a cancer free world. Seventy five years later they're still raising money and people are still losing loved ones. To make a donation visit the RTCC website.

And that's all I have to say about that.
