Volunteers Needed – The Princess Margaret Ride to Conquer Cancer

On June 8-9, 2024, join us for two remarkable days as we mark the 17th anniversary of The Princess Margaret Ride to Conquer Cancer, a transformative event dedicated to advancing life-changing cancer research at The Princess Margaret. Thousands of participants will take on the challenge of riding 200+KM from Toronto to Niagara, all with an undeniable spirit of camaraderie and community.

Volunteers play a crucial role in bringing this event to life. Whether assisting with the opening ceremony in Toronto/Niagara, helping set up the main campsite in Hamilton, or managing the finish line in Niagara Falls, your time, skills, and creativity make a positive impact.
