Ergon Communications was proud to support Mark Pattern, co-author of Career Scope, as he embarked on a two-day cycling journey, from Vancouver, BC to Seattle, WA as part of The Ride to Conquer Cancer benefiting BC Cancer Foundation.

Mark said that he rode "...knowing that more family, friends and community members than I want to think about, will be affected by cancer in the coming years, grateful to join a team, dedicated to make a difference together and for those who may be able to ride because of these efforts".

As a sponsor, we encourage those interested to read about his reasons for riding on his donation page here.
