The event was founded by husband and wife team Rick and Amy Kemp. Rick has been a patient of PRHC since 2019, when he was diagnosed with metastatic kidney cancer. In May 2021, his battle doubled as he was diagnosed with a second primary cancer, CNS lymphoma. “The mental battle of cancer is as tough as the physical battle. Some days, even tougher. Let’s find more ways to help more people get through the mental part.” – Rick Kemp

Thank you to the event’s very generous sponsors: Kemp Insurance, LLF Lawyers, Volkswagen Peterborough, Paradigm Pictures and Douglas & Son.
