June 9, 2024- Cyclist raises cancer awareness at the age of 81 & Where should people spend their summer? This weekend will mark the 17th annual Princess Margaret RIDE to Conquer Cancer. More than 5,000 cyclists will ride over 200 kms over the two days, starting from the Exhibition Place in Toronto to Niagara Falls, with a pit stop in Hamilton. Last year, the ride received a contribution of $17.3 million with the help of cyclists, donors and sponsors. We reached 81-year-old Mary Jane McKeen, to tell her story about suffering from long-term cancer and biking her 15th ride this year. AND It’s going to be summer soon! Are you looking for suggestions for your next adventure? What should you do? Where should you go?
