Meeting Point

If you are facing the War Museum from the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway (a.k.a. Ottawa River Parkway), you will see a "Canadian War Museum/Musee Canadien De La Guerre" sign just west of the main entrance (see the picture below, where the two soldiers are standing). Let's meet under that sign at 8am. YOU MUST REGISTER ONLINE THIS YEAR. The 70km race starts at 8:30am; the 35km race starts at 9am.

For those who have never met me and need to recognize me before or after the race: I ride a Green Fixie bike; I will be wearing our Meetup cycling Jersey and shorts.

Hello everyone. I’m raising money in support of Myeloma Canada by participating in the Myeloma Canada Ride.

What is myeloma? (Myeloma is a blood cancer) I was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma in December 2021 so this is a very personal cause for me.

By making a donation or joining the ride (or both), you are supporting the pursuit of curing and preventing the disease, accelerating access to the best care, while empowering and improving the lives of all Canadians affected by myeloma.
Please make a donation today and help us reach our fundraising goal!

If you can't make it to the ride, you can make a donation on my personal ride page (Myeloma Canada Ride - Dana's Page ).
