Started in 2002, the RIDE FOR KAREN is a yearly cycling event that is held as a tribute to the life and legacy of Karen Tobias and to raise money for charities that help people living with cancer, and those who care for them. In the last six years the Ride for Karen has raised over $675,000, which was used to help build and furnish new cancer care facilities, provide much needed resources for cancer support centres and send kids with cancer to camp.
All the monies raised from the 2008 Ride for Karen will be used to send kids with cancer to camp. This year’s ride will feature three events, a 160km course for advanced riders, a 25km course for intermediate cyclists, and a Kids Fun Ride for children 2-12 years old.
