Wilmot Orchards has successully completed The Ride to Conquer Cancer for another year.
Congratulations to Charles and Robbie for completing their fourth rides, and Jeremy for completing his first ride. 

 

The Ride to Conquer Cancer is in support of
The Princess Margaret Hospital

Why do we ride?
Because our sweat
Is nothing compared to their tears,
Because our challenge
Is nothing compared to their fight.
Because we are all on one journey,
With one destination, one goal:
To conquer cancer in our lifetime.
