BMTR Cares - Memorial Ride: Michael Lander

Описание: Alpe du Zwift, two routes, two different sports, one by bike, the other by running, one goal: to reach the seventh segment at the Michael Lander Memorial together.

This is intended to be a documentary of the BMTR Cares event.

*THE REASONS FOR THE RIDE*
It is with heavy hearts that we remember Michael Lander, a remarkable human and Red Beacon in the C group for BMTR's Flat 100 Event for over five years, who was loved by all. Michael passed away unexpectedly on February 24, 2025, at the age of 56 due to previously undiagnosed heart issues.

This BMTR Cares event is fundraising in partnership with Michael's sister, Rebecca Lander, for Sports Cardiology Toronto, a cause that perfectly reflects Michael’s passion for ultra-endurance sport and helps protect other athletes and families from the same devastating loss. A core mission of Sports Cardiology Toronto is to help athletes with heart conditions return to play safely or continue exercising in modified ways when needed. Their multidisciplinary team of cardiologists, exercise physiologists, and kinesiologists delivers care that truly understands both the heart and the athlete.

As we approach the one-year anniversary of his passing, we invite you to join BMTR Cares and Michael's family in honoring his memory. Let's come together for a group ride to the "BMTR LANDER" memorial Zwift created last August at the request of Michael's sister, Rebecca, located just beyond hairpin number seven on the Alpe Du Zwift climb. When we reach the tribute, we will pause in silence to reflect on the lasting positive impact Michael had on all of us, then continue our ascent to the top of the climb.

We truly appreciate your support and hope you will consider making a donation, no matter the size, to Sports Cardiology Toronto. Every contribution, big or small, makes a meaningful difference for this important cause that touches so many lives:
