Athina's Ride invites cyclists, runners & walkers everywhere to be part of our mission to find a cure for desmoid tumours. Whether you choose to ride/run/walk in your hometown, or join us in beautiful Oyama, B.C for the ride, your participation makes a difference in the fight against this rare disease.
On June 27th, 2026, Athina Merckx will lead a special 40km ride starting at 10am from the Oyama Hall, as part of the Okanagan Graveller event in Oyama for participants who have fundraised or donated $100 or more 40 spots available, sign up mandatory. Following the ride, join us for a celebratory social and silent auction at the Oyama Community Hall.
Can't make it to Oyama? Create your own ride experience wherever you are. Ride solo or gather a team, set your distance goals, and track your training journey. Over the past three years, our community has raised more than $390,000 for research, with 100% of proceeds supporting the Desmoid Tumour Foundation of Canada. Every donation is tax-deductible, and every kilometre cycled or ran brings us closer to finding a cure.
We’ve taken some time to make sure we can bring you the unforgettable experience you deserve. We’re thrilled to announce that The Okanagan Graveller is back! Mark your calendars for June 28th, 2026 – we can’t wait to welcome you to beautiful Oyama, BC for an incredible day of riding and community.
