The pedal power of many

The Enbridge Tour Alberta for Cancer fuels the More Hope Movement, helping ensure every Albertan facing cancer has access to the care and support they need.

When thousands of people come together on two wheels, something powerful happens. Roads fill with determination. Strangers become teammates. A shared purpose carries everyone forward.

That spirit defined this year’s Enbridge Tour Alberta for Cancer (Tour). Riders showed up not just to cycle, but to stand with those facing cancer. Their collective effort set a new Tour record, raising $9.4 million for the Alberta Cancer Foundation — the highest total in the event’s 17-year history.

Each rider commits to raising at least $2,500, rallying friends, family and colleagues behind them. But the Tour quickly becomes about more than fundraising. Over two unforgettable days, it transforms into a moving expression of community, filled with encouragement, gratitude and the belief that progress is possible when people show up for one another.

Every pedal stroke helps fuel innovation, strengthen patient support and create more time for the moments that matter most. The Tour is proof that when people move together with purpose, the impact extends far beyond the finish line.

Funds raised through the Tour support programs that directly improve the cancer experience, including the Patient Financial Assistance Program and the Cancer Patient Navigation Program. They also help advance groundbreaking clinical trials and critical improvements at cancer centres across the province.

For many riders, the Tour is deeply personal. Longtime participant Sydney Meier rides in honour of her mom, Leah, who was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2018 and joined the Tour herself in 2019. “I’ll never be able to express my gratitude for this ride and the memories it’s given me with my mom,” says Meier. “More moments, that’s all we want. That’s all we ride for.”

The Tour is more than the Foundation’s signature fundraising event. It’s a community in motion. “It’s kind of one big team as you’re riding, everyone’s cheering each other on,” says 2025 rider Mike Haig. “We might come from different teams, but out here, we’re all riding as one — Team Alberta.”
