Local man participates in Ride To Conquer Cancer JILLIAN TRAINOR Arrow Lakes News
When the Nakusp CIBC decided to put together a team for the Ride to Conquer Cancer, branch manager Steven Coulthard wanted to get involved. “I wanted to do something, and it came up, and it matched with our values and everything at CIBC,” he said.
“I’ve seen the effects of cancer on different people, my father included, so I figured we should try to do something, and do some fundraising, and see if we can get rid of it.” In order to take part, Coulthard had to raise money. In total, he wound up raising over $2,600, mostly through friends, locals in the community, and businesses. “People really stepped up. It was pretty amazing.” Normally, a person can sign up for the ride almost a year in advance, but the team was a little late signing up, with only two months to train before the big event.

“We’d be riding, maybe, 20-25 km, and by the end, we had a loop. We would ride up to Summit Lake and then back around town a bit, and it was usually about 40-45 km in the morning and then on weekends we did ride upwards of 130 km. It was a lot of kilometres,” Coulthard said. He said it was never an easy ride. As he went, he was pushing himself more and more. As he got faster, he pushed himself to go a little faster, cover more of a distance.
