A Beacon of Hope: Why We Partner with the Alberta Cancer Foundation and the Enbridge Tour Alberta for Cancer

  • News

We have a powerful partnership with the Alberta Cancer Foundation and the Enbridge Tour Alberta for Cancer. They both represent the heart of why we do what we do and a shared purpose that resonates deeply with many of our attendees because cancer affects everyone. Our partnership allows the cycling community to give back to a cause that has likely touched every single person at our swaps.

At Alberta Bike Swap, we talk a lot about moving bikes—but our partnership with the Alberta Cancer Foundation and Enbridge Tour Alberta for Cancer is about moving mountains for Albertans facing their darkest days.

The Alberta Cancer Foundation is more than an organization; they are a light in the darkness. They act as a beacon of hope by empowering and uniting Albertans around a common purpose: investing in the future of cancer research and ensuring that no one in our province has to walk their journey alone.

This partnership allows our community to turn cycling for a cause into a vehicle for change. Through the bike swap, we support cyclists that bring in a bike to sell with a donation, to help fulfill their noble commitment to a worthy cause. We aren’t just recycling bikes—we’re helping fund the next breakthrough in cancer research.

The Alberta Cancer Foundation and Enbridge Tour Alberta for Cancer are leaders in the event and charity world, not just because of the funds they raise, but because of how they collaborate. They are masters at uniting different groups—like ours—around a shared goal. They recognize that it takes a village, and they treat every partner, no matter how small, as a vital part of the solution.

We appreciate these partners because they focus on the moments. Their mission is to create more moments for more Albertans, whether that’s another birthday, another bike ride, or another sunset. They remind us that our work at the swap has a ripple effect that touches lives far beyond the handlebars.

We invite you to learn more about the incredible work being done at the Alberta Cancer Foundation and Enbridge Tour Alberta for Cancer. Whether through a donation or simply sharing their mission, you are helping ensure that the light stays bright for those who need it most.

We glanced at other cyclist while cycle commuting in January 2005, spoke at the bike racks, and we’ve been together since.
