It’s that time of year again where NC is gathering a cycling team for the Niagara Health Foundation’s Big Move Cancer Ride.
Manager, Global Customized Training & Consulting, Joanne Maltby and Associate Director, Strategic Procurement, Mike Pasquale at the 2023 Big Move Cancer Ride.
The 15th annual fundraising event in support of the Walker Family Cancer Centre will take place Sunday, September 10. NC’s Big Move team, along with hundreds of Niagara residents, will take off from White Meadows Farms on a 12K, 25K, 50K, or 75K bike ride through scenic Pelham. All routes end back at White Meadows Farms, where riders and their families will enjoy a BBQ lunch, live music, and ceremonies.
For the fifth consecutive year, Joanne Maltby (Manager, Global Customized Training & Consulting) and Mike Pasquale (Associate Director, Strategic Procurement) will be leading NC’s Big Move team, encouraging the NC community to join the team or donate to the cause to help them reach their fundraising goal of $5,000.
Whether you are riding in celebration of a cancer survivor, in support of a cancer patient, or in memory of a loved one lost, riders and donors can take pride in knowing that every dollar raised supports local cancer care.
Anyone can join NC’s Big Move team and all cycling levels are welcome.
