Athina's Ride invites cyclists & runners everywhere to be part of our mission to find a cure for desmoid tumours. Whether you choose to ride/run/walk in your hometown, or join us in beautiful Oyama, B.C for the ride, your participation makes a difference in the fight against this rare disease.
On June 27th, 2026, Athina Merckx will lead a special 40km ride as part of the Okanagan Graveller event in Oyama for participants who have fundraised or donated $100 or more 40 spots available. Following the ride, join us for a celebratory social and silent auction at the Oyama Community Hall.
Can't make it to Oyama? Create your own ride experience wherever you are. Ride solo or gather a team, set your distance goals, and track your training journey. Over the past three years, our community has raised more than $390,000 for research, with 100% of proceeds supporting the Desmoid Tumour Foundation of Canada. Every donation is tax-deductible, and every kilometre cycled or ran brings us closer to finding a cure.
