www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday June 4, 2008 - 15 Cancer ride stops in Oakville June 13 Continued from page 10 "It's the first time that I'll be leaving Ethan for this long, but I think this would show him how important it is to give back to the community. I am trying to get through this ride for kids who are probably just about Ethan's age." Ethan realizes this importance. He helps around with chores around the house, and is patient when staying with relatives or friends. He's also very proud of his mom. "When we're out grocery shopping, he tells everyone he sees, `My mom is a national rider for the Kids Cancer Ride," laughed Smith. Smith had to raise a minimum of $12,500 and pay a $4,000 fee to participate in the event. And although the requirements are "quite high" she believes the numbers are achievable with hard work. "To raise the money, you'll have to look harder than the friends and family members donations." Two Oakville residents -- Andy Brooks and Dan Watt -- are also doing the ride. The Sears National Kids Cancer ride commenced in Victoria B.C. on June 2 and will come to an end on June 20, in Halifax N.S. The ride is organized by the Coast to Coast against Cancer Foundation--a foundation dedicated to creating physically challenging events to raise money for childhood cancer charities throughout Canada. There are about 10, 000 children living with cancer today. In the 1950s, less than 10 per cent of childhood cancer patients could be cured, today, more than 70 per cent of children who are diagnosed with the disease become long-term survivors. Childhood cancers also have a 75 per cent cure rate. For more information about the ride, visit www.searsnationalkidscancerride.com.
