Terri McConnachie is cycling in the Tour de Cure, a 200-km ride from Cloverdale to Chilliwack
With every push of the pedals, first-time Wheelin’ Warriors of the North rider Terri McConnachie, a cancer survivor, will take a deep breath and acknowledge those she loves who have lost their lives to cancer.
In her first day of fundraising, McConnachie met her goal of raising $2,500 and promptly raised her goal because, of course, there’s no such thing as raising too much money for cancer research. “I think the hardest part for anybody who knows there’s something wrong is the period of time when you know you’re sick but you don’t know what it is,” McConnachie said. “It’s all the tests, it’s that whole long time where you don’t know and you are literally along for the ride. That was the first time in my life where I realized I had no control. I was a leaf floating on the stream just bobbin' along.
The best thing McConnachie did during that most difficult time was to accept that she had stage 2b cervical cancer.
