I was brought on board with M1 Sports Management to jumpstart the Enbridge Tour Alberta for Cancer after a 2 year pandemic hiatus. Bringing this event back to life was one of the most challenging and rewarding experinces of my carrer. It has been a pleasure realinging the fundrasing goals and event expenses to ensure the maximum funds go to the Alberta Cancer Foundation.I have been fortunate enough to be a leader on a team of highly skilled leaders who have capitalized on a 77% growth in registration and 85% increase in fundraising. With that growth the team has continued to drive costs down below our first year with the event (2022) and an estimated 3 fold reduction in costs from pre-pandemic events.It has been a pleasure to welcome 3600 cyclists to Alberta roads over the past 3 years. Looking forward to the 2025 Enbridge Tour Alberta for Cancer.
