Breast cancer research means Tena McKenzie can ride again.
The Pedego Oyama team member marked her 10th anniversary as a breast cancer survivor by leading cyclists around Wood Lake Sunday, Oct. 3, for the Canadian Cancer Society CIBC Run for the Cure.
鈥淟ast year, we chose to ride our E-bikes instead of run around Wood Lake and we all felt like a Motorcycle Club 鈥� so this year I am calling my team: B.O.A 鈥� Boobs of Anarchy 鈥� we will be in black biker T-shirts with pink feather boas and I will lead the pack with my breast cancer pink Pedego electric bike,鈥� McKenzie said.
After McKenzie鈥檚 2020 ride raised $6,000, supporters cranked it up a notch this year.
鈥淲e had 45 riders and raised @ $7,000, with money still trickling in,鈥� McKenzie said
Partnering with the Oyama community to organize the ride, she is overwhelmed with the support of sponsors, friends and neighbours.
鈥淲hat an amazing community we have.鈥�
The ride launched with a warm-up at Gatzke Farm Market, then circled Wood Lake on Pelmewash Parkway via the Okanagan Rail Trail and returned to Gatzke Orchards for refreshments and prizes.
