Taking Action
One Day. One Walk. All Cancers…takes flight!
The
Shoppers Drug Mart
Weekend to End Women’s
Cancers
has been an
amazing 12-year event—
raising over $145 million
(gross) to support: the
work of Dr. Tak Mak and
his team at The Campbell
Family Institute for Breast
Cancer Research, clinical
enhancements such as one-
day diagnosis, and creation
of an award-winning
survivorship program.
Every walker, volunteer
and donor is a Princess
Margaret hero for their
passion and dedication to
conquering cancer in our
lifetime. And, there would
be no walk without our
many sponsors, with special
thanks to Shoppers Drug
Mart, CIBC, Royale and
Rogers Centre, home of the
Toronto Blue Jays.
At the most recent walk,
on September 6, 2014, the
Foundation announced
the next evolution in the
walk. To ensure the event is
engaging and relevant to
as many people as possible
and supporting more areas
of research at Princess
Margaret Cancer Centre,
the 2015 walk will be re-
launched as the
Shoppers
Drug Mart OneWalk to
Conquer Cancer.
The new walk will be a one-
day event, and it will remain
a big and bold challenge to
walk 25 km and raise $1500
for cancer research at The
Princess Margaret. Walkers
will be able to direct the
funds they raise to the area
of research most important
to them.

“I have seen how it changes people’s lives”
Ron Lloyd lost his
friend, Eris Innes, to
pancreatic cancer,
and he wanted to
do something in
remembrance of his
friend and in support
of Eric’s family. So he
and his wife joined Team Innes in the 2008
Ride to Conquer Cancer
, and started what
he considers “a tremendous journey”.
As CEO of Credit Suisse, Ron has
encouraged employees at his firm to get
involved and take on the challenge of
riding over 200 km in two days. In 2013,
100 employees across the country joined
Ron as part of Team Credit Suisse, and, as
leader, Ron completed all four Rides in
Canada—which took him to Vancouver,
Montreal and Calgary, in addition to the
Ontario ride. “I know Eric would think this
was very cool!”
Credit Suisse has been the Official Financial
Services Sponsor for the Ride for the past
two years, and, in 2014, Ron took on an
additional leadership role—he is the
Honorary Chair for the event.
Game on Cancer!
