Thanks to everyone's generosity, we (Gail, Mya, Ben, and
myself) have achieved our fundraising goal of $15,000 for Wellspring's cancer
support programs. This means that I will honour my commitment of a DOUBLE RELAY
shift during the Wellspring Ride.
Logistically, it makes the most sense for me to attempt this
on the first day of the event. So....this means that on Saturday, September
26th - I will start cycling at 9am and continue until midnight - for a total of
over 300+ kms.
Never having done this type of distance before, I'm hoping
to prove that 'anything is possible'
(with an extra bit of determination and effort) !
After this long first day, I will then join my team and
continue with the 'normal' relay shifts of cycling
120kms each day for the next 6 days until we reach New Orleans. I'm sure
that my body will probably scream at me in new ways that I have not felt before. My plan is to keep pushing ahead knowing that
it's still nothing compared to what those fighting cancer go through.
Check back to see how all this goes....I will be updating
this blog regularly all the way to New Orleans.
All are invited to the start line! It's at the Wellspring
House in Oakville, and festivities start at 8am on Saturday, September 26th. It will be great to see you! More details

By the way....I was thinking of testing a new bike for this event....what do you
think? Found it at LegoLand!
