This year we ride in memory of Martha.
Martha was diagnosed with metastatic Ewing sarcoma in August 2015. In the 7 years that followed, she endured 2 relapses, participated in clinical trials, and underwent surgery to remove a tumour in her lung.
Throughout her journey, she remained strong, creative, and athletic, including her love for mountain biking.
Despite the best today’s medicine could offer, Martha died at the age of 20.
I didn't have the pleasure of meeting her but many I know speak of her energy, positivity, and love all around her. You can see her creativity in the drawings that adorn our team kits (jerseys) this year.
