Cycling in epic cancer fundraiser
Anouschka Riverin, finance manager with the Regional District
of Kootenay Boundary, will be swapping her calculator
for cycling when she takes on the ‘Tour de Cure’ 100km fundraising
bike ride in Chilliwack later this month.
Her team, ‘Just Beat it’, hopes to complete the epic, in-person
cycling challenge in under 5 hours and has raised nearly $2000
to help the BC Cancer Foundation break down the disease
through lifesaving research and enhancements to care.
Three of the Rosslander’s closest outdoor adventure buddies
will join her on BC’s biggest cycling fundraiser when she saddles
up on Saturday, 27 August. Together they will be fuelled
and motivated by the ‘generosity of colleagues at the RDKB’
who have been donating to it throughout her event training.
“Helping to change the stigma around cancer has been a
learning experience filled with constant personal growth,” says
Anouschka, who is a cancer survivor and openly shares her
story when prompted by colleagues and friends. Diagnosed
with advanced Stage 4 colon cancer metastasized to her liver
in November 2020, the BC Cancer Foundation played a major
role in her recovery. It takes a whole team to break away from
cancer and the players in Anouschka’s have been vast: The
oncology team, Dr. Scotland and Dr. Schumacher at Kootenay
Boundary Regional Hospital; her nurses and Dr. Eeason
at Kelowna General; the radiation team and Dr. Liu at Vancouver’s
BC Cancer Agency and her family doctor Dr.Jonas
Sandstrom.
“I’m so grateful to everyone who has supported me over the
last couple of years as well as the kindness and generosity of

my colleagues at the RDKB. This cause is very personal to me
but it affects everyone - nearly 1 in 2 Canadians will be diagnosed
with cancer, and 1 in 4 will die from the disease,” adds
Anouschka.
Looking the picture of health, you wouldn’t expect Anouschka’s
journey to have involved 12 rounds of chemotherapy,
short-course radiation therapy and three surgeries in 2021
alone. Apart from a small bump just below her right clavicle,
beneath which lies a power port tube to her heart, there is little
evidence on the outside of her scuffle with cancer. Her chemo
tube is flushed monthly, and it remains in place as a constant
reminder that remission is unlikely to last. She is very upbeat
about it all and the team will be celebrating the fundraising
event at the Waterpark afterwards.
“My biggest concern is for my butt! I’m going to be on that
saddle for a long stretch,” adds Anouschka who has been clocking
over 100km
