About Dr. Riediger:

Dr. Michael Riediger is ready to bust a move and break a leg as he makes his debut on the Dancing with the Docs stage! Originally hailing from Kenora, he now calls Thunder Bay home with his family, including his three children and wife Sarah. He loves to take advantage of all the amazing things beautiful NWO has to offer, including skiing and camping. He is also a handy woodworker and is known for making one a kind pieces in his garage.

Dr. Reidiger studied medicine in Ireland and completed his Orthopedic Surgery Fellowship in Australia. He now focuses on upper limb surgeries for our region.

A lover of dance when he has some liquid courage, it didn’t take too much pressure to convince him to join us for this dancing challenge. We just don’t want to see any blown-out ACLs!

About Izzy:

It’s a good thing Isabella (Izzy) Jedruch has a background in Education because she will be taking the competition to school with her hip-hop skills! Having been a dancer for 18 years, Isabella brings a deep appreciation of various dance styles and genres to the stage that she hopes will lead her to the Mirror Ball. Dancing with the Docs Thunder Bay gives her the opportunity to combine her passion for dance with a meaningful cause and raise money for cancer research.

When not dancing, she is starting her fourth year of the Concurrent Education program at Lakehead University, majoring in Kinesiology. In her spare time, Isabella enjoys many sports and all of the outdoor activities that Northern Ontario has to offer, as well as traveling!

Isabella can’t wait to help make a difference in the lives of those affected by cancer in our region and contribute to the well-being of our community.
