Maren Oelbermann rides to raise funds for local cancer centre
Dr. Maren Oelbermann and her husband, Pedro Gonzalez Hernandez, cycled 770 km along the Dempster Highway to raise money to support the Grand River Cancer Centre, travelling from Dawson City, Yukon to Inuvik, Northwest Territories over an eight-day period in August.
They raised $7500 for the Grand River Cancer Centre where Oelbermann had received treatment for breast cancer in 2019. They planned this fundraiser as a way to give back to the centre where Oelbermann received wonderful care and were pleased by the generosity of their community, exceeding their original goal of $5000.
Congratulations and thank you, Maren and Pedro!
Additional coverage of their trip was reported in an article in the Waterloo Chronicle newspaper.
