The Kids Cancer Care Ride of Courage, scheduled for July 10 to 12, invites cyclists to traverse the scenic Alberta foothills to raise funds for children battling cancer. Richard Radu, a long-time participant, draws inspiration from his son Stephen, who was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2006. The Radu family first encountered Kids Cancer Care during their hospital stay, leading to Stephen's desire to give back through volunteering and cycling. The event offers three cycling options—three-day, two-day, or one-day—culminating in a stay at Camp Kindle in Water Valley, Alberta, a place known for its healing atmosphere. Richard emphasizes the community spirit among participants, united by their shared mission to support children affected by cancer. Stephen encourages more volunteers to join the cause, highlighting the importance of support for riders.
