The Alberta Cancer Foundation is excited to announce a brand-new flagship cycling event taking place August 28, 2021.  

The Enbridge Tour Alberta for Cancer will be the most “Alberta” cycling challenge this province has ever seen.   With a route extending from Lethbridge to Fort McMurray, the Tour will keep the impact close to home raising funds in support of cancer research and care delivered by Albertans, for Albertans.  

Over the past 12 years, Albertans have come together every summer to participate in an epic cycling challenge, raising millions of dollars in support of incredible cancer research and care. This brand-new event has a fresh name, but the goals and experience will remain the same as years past — an inspiring cycling challenge that has an unparalleled impact on cancer outcomes for Albertans.  Last year’s event raised 1.9 million dollars with over two thousand cyclists taking part.  

CEO Wendy Beauchesne from the Alberta Cancer Foundation says, with the 17 Alberta Health Services cancer centres in the province, cancer isn’t isolated to one part of the province.

“This is our first year for this particular event, so we are hoping to raise around $1 Millon dollars.” 

Cyclists can participate from anywhere across Alberta, cycle the distance of their choosing, and raise funds for the cancer center closest to home. As the official fundraising partner of the 17 Alberta Health Services cancer centres, this event will enable the Alberta Cancer Foundation to continue supporting world-class research and patient care, right here in our own backyard. 

“We are delighted to launch our new Enbridge Tour Alberta for Cancer and are grateful for Enbridge’s continued support.”  

There are no entry fees, all they ask is that people reach out to their network and try and raise some funds to support people who are on their cancer journey in this province.  You can do it anytime, anywhere, anyplace.  

The official tour day is August 28, with a virtual launch. 

Funds raised goes to wherever the participants or donors wanted to go, like one of the 17 cancer centres or if they want it towards cancer research.
