The Spirit of Kitchissippi

August 20, 2015

Ride on

Thousands of dollars raised for the Ottawa Hospital Story by Francella Fiallos

Sitting on his sofa with his mouth slightly agape, Irwin Waldman analyses a portrait of himself that was taken during one of six fundraising rides he’s completed over the years. In the picture, Waldman and his bike fill up the entire frame. He’s clearly feeling triumphant: riding

the road with no hands, a big smile on his face, and arms fully outstretched. Waldman points to his arms in the photo. They are covered by sleeves. “It must have been cold that morning,” he says. “And there’s my flag right at the back of my helmet. It’s a pain in the butt on a bicycle.” The flag is supposed to symbol-

ize the rider’s victory over cancer, a disease that has touched Waldman – and his whole family – after he contracted bladder cancer in 1981 and again in the early 90s. After approximately seven years of non-stop treatment, examination and surgery, Waldman was clear in 2007.
