http://www.conquercancer.ca http://www.conquercancer.org.au http://www.ridetovictory.org The Ride to Conquer Cancer is an annual charity fundraiser held in various locations across Canada, Australia, and the United States. It is organized as a non-competitive cycling event that sees thousands of riders travel over 200 kilometers (120 miles) over two days. It was first held in the Toronto area in 2008 and raised $14 million for the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. Following the success of the first ride, the event spread to Montreal, Calgary and Vancouver beginning in 2009, and to Brisbane in 2011. In the four Canadian events in 2013, 11,000 riders raised $43.9 million. In 2014, 2 events within the United States were announced, including a ride through Washington, D.C. and Maryland, a ride originating in New York.
