Ride of Hope
The 12th Annual Terry Fox Ride of Hope
When you participate and fundraise for the Terry Fox Ride of Hope you support innovative, life-changing research and bring hope and health to cancer patients.
The first Terry Fox Ride of Hope took place in 2015 to honour the 35th anniversary of Terry’s Marathon of Hope. Led by Darrell, Terry’s younger brother, a band of riders cycled 350 km, ending their tribute at the base of Mount Terry Fox, in British Columbia.
Over the past decade the Terry Fox Ride of Hope has attracted riders of all ages and abilities to pedal-power $2,250,000 funds raised for cancer research. From ‘Terry-Tough’ challenges to recreational rides, the Ride offers an opportunity to channel cycling passion into supporting Terry’s legacy and innovative and impactful cancer research.

NATIONAL RIDE OF HOPE
This year, Darrell is organizing a very special National Ride of Hope in honour of the 45th anniversary of Terry’s Marathon of Hope. This time, it’s literally a Ride as big as our country.
On June 9, a team of eight cyclists will leave Vancouver and pedal 7,000 km to arrive in St. John’s on July 10. In addition to being an epic 32-day tribute to Terry’s legacy, it’s a powerful, poignant way to support his dream of a world without cancer.
As the National Ride makes its way across 10 provinces and through 13 cities, there will be opportunities for experienced cyclists to fundraise and join the peloton!
Find out how you can be part of this once-in-a-lifetime experience when the National Ride comes through your community!
Whether you start your own Ride, opt for a solo adventure, or join the National Ride, you’re bringing critical funds to Canada’s top researchers – and hope to families living with cancer.
