www.tourdetremblant.com
September 9-11, 2011 ~ Montréal / Mont Tremblant, QC

The 4th Annual 2011 Cedars Leaders / Tour de Tremblant weekend was a tremendous success:
3 fabulous days of glorious sunshine, 2 cities – Montréal and Mont Tremblant - and 3 major events.
 
This year, with over 800 people participating throughout the weekend, our Cedars Leaders raised in excess of $650,000 to support two of Quebec’s most important academic health centres: the Cancer Care Mission of the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC), and the Cancer and Heart Wellness programs of the Centre hospitalier de l’Université de Montréal (CHUM).
 
September 9: On Friday, Cedars presented the Cedars Summit on Cancer Survivorship, hosted by
7-time Tour de France Champion and Global Cancer Advocate Lance Armstrong with a panel of guest speakers, including Dr. Craig Nichols, Lance’s personal oncologist, and Mrs. Gwen Andrew Nacos, Director and Founder, of Cedars CanSupport and the top practitioners from the MUHC and CHUM. This intimate and interactive evening for cancer survivors, patients and their family members, including many caregivers, healthcare professionals and administrators, was moderated Mr. Phil Liggett, voice of the
Tour de France.
 
September 10: On Saturday, the Cedars Leaders and their respective 24h Corporate teams once again took to the track at Circuit Mt. Tremblant for a very successful 2nd year collaboration and participation with Tremblant's 24h of CyclingJoined by VIPs, Athletes and Olympians, our Cedars Leaders riders valiantly completed their 100km personal challenges, with the support and encouragement of their 24h team mates and family and friends.

Evening ended with sunset cocktails on the terrasse and dinner with keynote speaker Yvan Cournoyer.

September 11: On Sunday, the 2nd edition of 24h Tremblant of Cycling drew to a rousing and exhausting, yet jubilant close at 12 noon, with over $450,000 raised by almost 90 teams and 850 riders.
 
As well, many Cedars Leaders started the day in Montreal at the UCI Grand Prix de Cyclisme with an early morning VIP “Leaders Club” experience, which included a relaxed breakfast and conversation hosted by Phil Liggett, with customary pre-race toast - then full-day access to the thrills and excitement of the 2nd Annual GPC de Montreal - the second of the UCI World Tour’s only North American dates.
