Pigeon Lake Pedal

Saturday, June 30^th, 2012

The Pigeon Lake Pedal was founded so that individuals and families could come together and participate in "pushing the cure for cancer".  Endorsed by the Alberta Cancer Foundation, this "kick off to summer" has raised over a quarter of a million dollars for unique projects in cancer research, treatment and family support.  Importantly, it is done in a fun, family orientated manner with everyone joining together to recognize and support those impacted by cancer.

It is believed that early diagnosis can greatly impact the course of cancer.  Funds from the 2012 Pigeon Lake Pedal will be directed to the Cross Cancer Institute for the purchase of a state of the art scanner to equip professionals with better tools to "see" tumours at an early stage.  This scanner- the first of its kind in Canada- will merge PET & CT scans to provide new ways of looking at cancer.  It will detect images of tumours only 2-3 millimetres in size compared to the 1-1.5 centimetre size currently possible.  The new scanner is also much more efficient - allowing four times as many patients to be screened than with current technology helping to reduce wait times.

Register and create your own personal fundraising page and plan to join us at Pigeon Lake on Saturday, June 30^th, 2012.  Print a Pledge Form to assist you in your fundraising efforts. 

Every $100 raised earns a ticket into the prize draw, held just after the BBQ lunch. 

The grand prize generously donated by Nunastar Properties is a weekend trip for 2 to Las Vegas, Nevada!
