Waterdown’s Jeff Kleven will be riding in his seventh Ride to Conquer Cancer June 13 and 14.

Kleven said one of the motivating factors in taking part in the ride is that his late father Bob battled and beat bladder cancer twice.

“The first year was awesome,” he recalled, adding he rides with his team, Geared for Life – which is a group of university friends. “The great part is we raise some significant funds for the Princess Margaret (Cancer Centre).”

Kleven added his cousin Jenny was also diagnosed with breast cancer last year.
