With a team of 32 Riders, $110,010 was raised to support The Princess Margaret Cancer Centre’s life-saving cancer research and treatment.
“As an avid cycler, participating in the Ride is one of my favourite yearly experiences and I love seeing Team Alectra and the communities we serve come together to support this important cause”, said Brian Bentz, President and CEO of Alectra. “I’m proud of every single rider, participating in the Ride is an example of us living our values and supporting one another when it matters most.
