This Sunday, July 27th 2025, Team Velogrit Lontreau, comprised of myself and 8 other woman, will participate in the annual Cypress Challenge cycling event - a ride that raises funds and awareness for pancreatic cancer.
Team Velogrit Lontreau is committed to riding with purpose, sweating for a cause and supporting critical health initiatives in BC.
On Sunday, our team wont stop at just one climb well be adding two more mountain stages to the day: Grouse and Seymour with a finish in Port Moody.
9 Woman, one day, 3 mountains, 3000 meters of elevation and one powerful reason to keep pushing.
Cancer effects everyone.

**Pancreatic cancer is difficult to detect at an early stage and is often resistant to treatment. Although it is the tenth most common cancer in Canada, it is the fourth leading cause of cancer death.
Unless more effective treatment strategies are found, pancreatic cancer in Canada is projected to become the second leading cause of cancer death by 2030.
