Israel – Premier Tech’s Chris Froome will join the Dream to Cure bikeathon in Vancouver, Canada, on September 23, helping to raise awareness and generate funds for cancer research.
The Dream to Cure event is set up by IPT partner, Dr. Kevin Ham, and will, in addition to the bike ride, also include talks with prominent figures in the cancer research area led by Dr. Azra Raza, a leading oncologist and international authority on pre-leukemia (MDS) and acute leukemia, Director of the MDS Center at Columbia University and author of the book “The First Cell: And the Human Costs of Pursuing Cancer to the Last.”
“It is such a great honor to have Chris Froome and Dr. Azra Raza come to Vancouver to support breakthrough cancer research to find the first cancer cell. It truly is a dream and we collectively Dream to Cure cancer”, Ham says.
“The hearts and minds of those coming to Vancouver from many places represents the beginning of the union to fight and beat cancer together globally. I believe it is a sperm meets egg conception moment and it is momentous. My heart is so full of gratitude and energy for everyone who is dreaming to make the dream real! Thank you with all my heart.”
Two routes are available for registration but there are only 100 spots in total, so you have to act fast if you want to ride with Froome in the breathtaking scenery around Vancouver. Go to DreamToCure.com now to secure your spot. Afterwards, all of the participants will get together for lunch and be able to have insightful talks with Froome and others.
The four-time Tour de France winner is looking forward to a memorable day out on the bike while supporting this important cause.
“I’m sure it’s going to be a great day out in Vancouver”, Froome tells. “Obviously, this is all for a really, really good cause. It’s also something that’s quite personal for me, quite close to my heart, having lost my mother to cancer a few years ago. After hearing about the vision behind Dream to Cure, I knew I wanted to get involved. Let’s all help to stop cancer from the first cell!”
IPT owner, Sylvan Adams, too, has been a valuable partner helping to raise awareness of the Dream to Cure event and he makes it clear that the entire Israel – Premier Tech team is supporting the cause.
“Kevin, you should know that although Froomey is the only rider from IPT participating in your charity ride in support of cancer research, the entire team will be with you in spirit, with me at the front of the line. I’m only sorry that other commitments prevented me from joining. Good luck, wishing you a big success. Big hug.”
