Welcome to our team page!
We created this team to honour my cousin Ryan Schmidt who succumbed to cancer in 2019 at only 27 years oldand continue to participate ever year as a way to remember him and continue his legacy. Unfortunately, since his passing,cancer has reared its ugly head and two moreSchmidt family members have been diagnosed. We are using the inspiration from my Aunty Mary's successful treatments and channeling my Aunty Carol's fierce determination and contagious optimismto move our bodies every day for the month of May.
With your donation or participation money for new treatments and medicines might be possible, we can save more lives and give families more time with their loved ones.
This May we're participating in Workout to Conquer Cancer, presented by Scotiabank to get moving and support BC Cancer patients! Our team is joining others across the province and beyond to move, no matter where we are, every single day of the month, to raise money for cancer research.
One in two British Columbians are impacted by cancer, that's why we've committed to move and raise funds for patients, survivors and the researchers pushing life-saving innovation forward. This challenge is more than exercise, it's about joining a community who know that together we can go beyond limits to make an impact for those we love and have loved.
Whether we run, walk, stretch or squat, every move we make and dollar we raise will be in support of the 80,000 people facing cancer this year across British Columbia.
So, as we get ready to sweat our way through May, please show your support by making a donation to our team today.
Consider moving with us, and join our team! We can work out and fundraise together for this very important cause.
Thank you!
